The give six possibilities. “[T]he person’s own bad character, a chemical imbalance in the brain, the way the person was raised, stressful circumstances in the person’s life, a genetic or inherited problem, and “God’s will.”

Hello! Welcome!

Posted on December 8, 2020 by Christie Douglas

Welcome to my ePortfolio! My name is Christie Douglas. Thank you for taking the time to review it. This ePortfolio has been created as my final exam for English 470 – Professional Writing Skills. In this class, we have learned all about how to write after we get out of school. In the real world, there is a certain level of expectations required from any published writing. Because of this class, I feel as if I have enough understanding to take this knowledge and be able to hold my own in a professional work space. This class has given me the skills to engage in the conversations, both written and spoken, that could happen in a professional workplace.
