What has been the most difficult part of this Self-Portrait for you? What has been the most rewarding part of this Self-Portrait for you? Please take a moment to reflect on why you felt this way. How have you GROWN through this process? I am SO proud of each and every one of you. You may not have worked at an A level, but each of you who challenged yourselves have succeeded in your own way.
