Your "About Me" Page...
BAM BAM!

You are probably familiar with "About Me" pages now.  Your "About Me" webpage on your weebly site must be different.  It can't be that same ol' boring paragraph about how you go to John Jay College and plan to be a lawyer, forensic scientist, forensic psychologist, or, for The Bold and the Beautiful, Olivia Benson from "Law & Order: SVU."  

On this "About Me" page, please also highlight all of the digital projects that you have done so far: links and images to your ePortfolio, your video projects from last semester, etc.  The page should look and feel like a candy store of a multimedia YOU! When in doubt, think about it the way that Sister Nancy talks about in the background music: 

A me seh one thing Nancy cyaan understan
one thing Nancy cyaan understan
wha' mek dem a talk 'bout me ambishan
seh, wha' mek dem a talk 'bout me ambishan
'ca me seh some a dem a ax me whey me get it fram
'ca some a dem a ax me whey me get it fram
a true dem nuh know it's fram creation
a true dem nuh know it's-a fram creation

Don't think of yourself as bragging or letting your head get too big.  You are just helping people to understand your ambitions and where they come from, just like Sister Nancy is suggesting in these lyrics!
