Get to know Me !

Hello, im Chamith Gamage,


Welcome to my portfolio,
First a small introduction. Im a enthusiastic ESL student of College of San Mateo who is putting the best effort to be good at english. Currently I'm pursuing a computer science degree with an ultimate goal of switching careers. This is my second semester. It is really important to me because I'm finishing up my ESL requirements for my degree. I believe I have made great progress in English down the road and can't wait to show off some of my writings that I have done for ESL 400 class. This website is all about them...

Self Reflection

Looking back at the last 3 months, I can say that this has been my most intensive time frame ever. I had to allocate time between the full time school and full time work. On top of that, I started a coding program two weeks before the end of the semester. I had some situations where I couldn't figure out what to do next. I ultimately made it to the finals of all four classes I attended, with very good academic progress.

When it comes to ESL400 class, Knowing Prof. Kaiser's teaching style from last semester was extremely beneficial to me. Just that fact alone helped me navigate through my assignments as well as build my confidence to manage life, work, and school commitments simultaneously. I really wanted to be in his class for ENGLISH 105 in the fall semester, but somehow it is not happening.

This class taught me the correct techniques for using the study materials. It improved my productivity a lot. Also I liked the prompts of all three essays that were given to me. It was enjoyable to be able to relate my own life experiences to the three essays. In this way I managed to add a "great hook" to each essay. The most interesting part for me in this class is the portfolio website assessment. It let me put my web development skills to good use. I'm happy with the final outcome.

As a result of having so much stuff to do, I developed a bad habit of submitting work at the last minute. I made several submissions at 11.50-12.00 midnight of the due date. It was not fun at all. Next semester, I pledged to break that habit.

It was a wonderful experience to accomplish something after an intensive workload, even if it was stressful.That is the feeling in my mind right now.

Once again… Thanks for stopping by.. Cheers!.
