How I Made My Blog Look Better.

To create a simple interface, I chose a background that would aesthetically appeal to my guests while keeping everything easily read and free from distractions. All of my links are properly labeled and leave a thorough understanding of where it will lead you in an effort to provide comprehensive interactivity. My blog provides optimal information with virtually no clutter in proximity. The elements of my blog are very similar, as well as aligned; and the contrast compliments that. The repetition I have provided is involved in the colors, shapes, and fonts available.

In order to accomplish organization and unity of the overall design to my viewers, I have adjusted the with of the main text window where the content of my blog posts are displayed. In addition, the sidebar provided has been purposely placed on the right since the computer mouse is usually on the right, it will make it easier to navigate to the sidebar. The font has been chosen to compliment my bookcase background as well as continue the formality of my blog.

Why I Want a Degree from UTSA

The autism spectrum has always been something that has irrevocably drawn me in. Since high school, I have been enthralled by this pervasive developmental disorder. I decided to get a degree in Psychology and Communications to further the knowledge and applications skills a graduate program in Communication Disorders would demand. Getting these degrees from UTSA are a stepping stone to my career aspirations.

Currently, I am employed as a behavioral therapist at Stone Oak Therapy. I volunteered there for almost 3 months before receiving my certification and an offer of employment. Being able to work in a clinic staffed with highly experienced and competently trained employees has continually added to my education. The patients are hard working and under a program that is aimed towards their constant growth. The building itself is fully equipped with everything a patient, worker, and parent needs for the furthering of their functionality.

Being a behavioral therapist, moving towards two degrees, and looking forward to a future in furthering my education is a place in my life that was sparked by UTSA, and I'm grateful for the opportunity.
