Welcome!
Hello! My name is Michael "Aaron" Sparks and I would like to greet you to my ePortfolio. This is a great way to get to know about me! I "restarted" my academic career at Salt Lake Community College in August of 2011. This journey has been a great achievement. Within these pages you can get to know more about my journey. In the Goals tab I have lists my academic and personal goals for 2012 and beyond. The Coursework tab is a showcase of my work while at SLCC, the Outside the Classroom tab lists activities and interests, and finally I have included my Resume to condense my history into a quick-to-read document.
Once again, WELCOME, and enjoy!

About Me
As I said above, my name is Michael Aaron Sparks. My parents gave me the curse I like to call "middle-name-ness", meaning that I predominately go by my first name. So even though there is a "Michael" at the beginning of my name, it is usually silent. "Aaron" almost always give an answer and pay attention, "Michael" may not.
I have grown up in the Salt Lake Valley for the large majority of my life. Utah is what I consider home, however, I love to travel and aspire to live in other worldly cities. I love theatre! Theatre has always been my passion. From an early age I knew I was meant for the stage. While growing up this passion has manifested itself into several forms, I've acted, danced, sang, performed, directed, wrote, produced. My artistic journey has been a great adventure and I decided about a year ago that I would pursue my passion academically. People thought I was crazy when I left my retail management position to achieve my newly decided goals. I have been in retail for over ten years and have decided I needed a change. The road hasn't always been smooth, but it's been well worth it! |
