I want to someday be a professor (I think). So, I used this portfolio as an opportunity to try out as many things that professors do as I could in this safe, supportive environment. Because professors do research, I did research. Because professors teach and develop courses, I taught and developed courses. Because professors present at academic conferences, I presented at academic conferences. So, this was my trial run at being a professor: a professorship with training wheels, if you will. This reflection discusses what I have learned and how I have changed. Now, I’m ready to ditch the training wheels and ride on my own.
