Juan’s Reflection
My intention with this essay is to reflect and try my ideas out. I feel good
to be in this class, The Puerto Rican Community. I thank my professor for
all that he has given me in this class. This class turned out to be interesting
and helped me in many aspects of what I would like to do with my life. Also,
the purpose of this assignment is to identify strengths and weaknesses that
I may posses and that I that could contribute in my professional life.
