Hi, my name is Elise Joy Otton. I am attending SUNY New Paltz as an Adolescent Education major, my focus subject is English. I enjoyed being able to make my voice heard in this class. In my essays I have discussed hardships that I have faced or may face as both a person of color and as a women.I am so thankful to have learned how to present my thoughts in such a cohesive matter using the skills I learned in Writing and Rhetoric. I hope that at least some of what you read in this portfolio sticks with you as this are all meaningful topics to myself. Enjoy!
