Reflection

At the start of the this course I was very worried that I was was not going to be able to find a viable topic for my e-portfolio. My concerns were put to rest when Finlay selected my topic (which was B-boying), of course I had to make things hard for myself by choosing something that I had very little (basically none) experience in. In hein site this had both advantages as well as disadvantages. Having no experience meant that in order to use my e-portfolio as an advertisement of my skills in this area to a potential employer, it meant that I had to be both learning and teaching at the same time. The good thing about knowing nothing is you have nothing to lose, at the "Jam" sessions that I would train at I realized that everyone could tell that I was new, with this knowledge I was able to learn and ask questions without shame. Had I already know what I was doing, I think that it would have been harder for me to ask for help from these people, they would have already know that I had some skills and thus would want to help. Now that the course is coming to an end I am very happy that I chose to do B-boying as the focus of my e-portfolio, it has given something that I can continue to develop and work on in the future
