Dear Senior Portfolio Committee
I am writing you today to get my Senior Portfolio approved. My time at Buckingham has
changed and transformed me into the person I am today, and I am very thankful for that. While
striving to become a successful worker, I hope to graduate from Buckingham with the knowledge
and skills that would aid me to become a Firefighter.
While attending BCMHS, I have attained many skills that have aided and prepared me to have a
successful future. After all, Buckingham is a school that is based on technology so it plays a
major role in learning. A few of those skills include learning the ability to utilize Photoshop,
Powerpoint, and how to write a good five paragraph MLA formatted essay. Also I have learned
how to use a digital camera and edit my photographs. Throughout my years at Buckingham I
have taken classes that have heightened my knowledge of the world. While taking History, I
learned to understand historical events better and applied that knowledge to analyzing current
events. Outside of school I participated in a Fire Explorers program that helped me gain
teamworking and leadership skills that will assist me in the workfield. Overall Buckingham has
changed me into a hardworking student and that will aid me to have an outstanding career that I
know I will love.
After I graduate Highschool, I plan to attend Solano which is a community college, while at
Solano I plan on taking a Emergency medical technician and a Paramedics class. After
completing the class I plan on following my dream to become a firefighter. As a backup plan I
would take more schooling to become a radiology technician.
Thanks you for taking your time to look at my senior portfolio and i'm looking forward to getting
it approved and graduating from Buckingham Charter. Buckingham has been a great school to
me and i'm joyful for being a part of it, However I am excited to go out and experience with the
skills I have acquired.
Sincerely, Javan Chapman
