My hero: Richard jewell
The person you're looking at is Richard Jewell. This was the guy who saved hundreds of lives at the Centennial Olympic Park. Here is a link to see the slideshow I created on him. Click Here On the side show it consists of his biography, what he has done, and also challenges he faced. I chose this person to be my hero because of his personality.

21st century skills: Global Awareness
For the 21st century skill “Global Awareness”, I choose to represent this skill with my work of current events. I understand that everything in our portfolio doesn’t necessarily have to have projects; however projects are a great way to show examples. With this skill in particular I choose my work of current events because we are constantly learning about the world around us and it promotes our critical thinking.
