Future Me


In careers we've been learning about ourselves and what our interests, abilities and skills are. After we learnt about ourselves and what we wanted to do for our future, we had to create this 'vision board'. As you can probably see, a vision board shows what your good at, what your ethnic background is, where you see yourself in the future & basically your vision for your future. Can you figure or learn something about me by looking at my vision board?
