Dessert
Dessert is the final course in an elegant dinner party. It is the decadent and delightful way to end the perfect evening. Dessert also leaves guests with a lasting impression of the meal they just enjoyed. My resume is the final event of my portfolio. It is meant to display and summarize the qualities that make me the educator I am today. I also hope that my resume, like dessert, leaves you with a lasting memory of me and what I believe to be important.
