Introduction
Hi, my name is Kenzie and welcome to my e-Portfolio! I have a passion for learning, business, fitness, food, and planning. This e-Portfolio will show you the coursework I completed for my Associates Degree, my short and long-term goals, and activities I enjoy outside of working.
About Me
I was born on Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, California and moved to Park City, Utah when I was one. I was been raised in Park City and loved growing up in a small ski town. Growing up in a small town I always dreamed of graduating high school and going to college in a big city or someplace far far away from home. I ended up leaving home, but not going very far. I was at Utah State for a semester and absolutely hated it. The school, the town and the people just weren't for me. So I decided to come back home and go to SLCC. This was the best decision I could have made because SLCC is already a better fit for all my academic and locational needs. I hope to one day be an entrepreneur and run my own business. On a personal note, I have a love for animals and grew up with all kinds of them. I currently have two dogs and a cat but I have had bunnies and horses too. In my free time, I love spending time with my animals along with my friends and family. I also love skiing, dirt biking, camping, and art.
In high school, I never took school seriously. I often thought that I wouldn’t go to college because I wasn't academically successful. I went to Utah State partially to avoid the embarrassment of being that one girl who didn't go to college and still lived with her parents. Although, a part of me wanted to continue learning by going to college, I just wasn't sure if that was the path I wanted to take. Despite not initially thinking college was for me, I still longed for the college experience I had heard so much about. During my time at Utah State I started to feel lost and alone. I grew anxious and worried about the future. I longed for something I couldn't put my finger on. This, along with all of the other contributing factors, made me decide to move back home and further my education at SLCC. I had discovered that what I was longing for were teachers that were passionate about their subjects and deeply involved with their students learning and education. SLCC has been a perfect fit for my academic goals and path for the future.
