Over the course of the few months, I have made an effort to develop my skills in “Word Press”as well as the Cross Cultural course in numerous different ways. My attitude towards this course stayed the same however, I truly have matured as an individual and my experience of working with Word Press. The young ladies in the e portfolio help program, contributed a lot to my skills related to this course. I was so frustrated with this “Word Press” in the beginning. I am also better at seeing the bigger picture and how my role relates to the overall goals of the Cross-Cultural course. In the beginning I just thought this would be adjusting to another psychology class but at the end of the day I truly had to learn how to navigate through what I was not familiar with and learn something new. I may have to use this again in life. This course definitely made me more acquainted with the influence of culture and psychology throughout the world. Also, understanding more about diversity and improve my critical thinking skills. I should have definitely study much harder for test #2 this will haunt me in my final grade. Should have given “Word Press” a better go in the beginning. I have to admit learning Word Press is very useful when you start building a website you’ll definitely will have a goal in mind, organizing out a Word Press website, creating pages, blogs and posts, and learning to maximize search engine optimization, all demand organization. Learning how to blog (which I had no interest in) with WordPress gives  you a powerful way to improve and practice communication. Word Press has improved my research habits as well as data analysis and technical knowledge.
