How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: I was sent a call for entries for a show at Portland State University. The show was for recent graduates from the Art department. I photographed three of my paintings. Two were selected by the Juror James Yood. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I was homeschooled. At 16 I enrolled for GED classes at MHCC. They were evening classes. I studied a bunch... especially on my math, which needed some help. I took the tests one at a time and finally got it. After that I enrolled in college classes there. Read how I did it…
It made me
glad I tried it
How I did it: Signed up for a class at Portland Rock Gym. Got all strapped in and started climbing. My knees started bothering me (pain), so I quit after the one ascent. Read how I did it…
