Hi, my name is Alyssa Menendez. I love Photoshop because it allows me to be creative and to express myself. Photoshop has taught me many things about life and has enhanced my thinking skills to the next level. Ever since I was in 1st grade, I loved art. As I got older, I started to realize that technology was the way of the future. Then, around 4th grade, I wanted to learn more about computers and learned from my grandfather most of what there is to know. I also realized that there are many opportunities to share your work especially through technology. So, I wanted to learn how to do Photoshop and how to take my artistic skills to a whole new level and share my work with others at the same time. At first, Photoshop was not easy for me. There were many steps to be learned and many tools you needed to learn in order to get started on projects. As soon as I learned the basics, Photoshop became easier for me and helped me with my thinking skills as well. Now, I think outside the box and about things that I thought where impossible I can make come to life.
