Welcome!

Sit back, relax and get to know Laura a little better. This blog is a way that every one can see a side of me that is not as easily noticed. While taking a good look at my blog, you will see that I am a hard working, determined and passionate person. There are many examples and links where you can take a deeper look into my accomplishments. Enjoy!

Letter of Intent

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter for all who are on my blog and let everyone one the agenda of this blog. This blog is a way that I can organize and easily access my works and accomplishments. This blog was also made so that future, possible employers can see what I have been working on and my past experiences.

As I get older, I will work on more and more things, so I want a place where I can put the things that I am the most proud of so that they can be shared to everyone. I also want to blog to be what makes me unique from other people that are looking for work. Since the economy is not doing so good and a lot of people are looking for work, I want this blog to put me one step in front of everyone.

Through this blog, an employer will be able to see how hard working, dependable and intelligent I am. Through this blog, my experiences will shine thought.

Sincerely,

Laura Gomez
