Hello, and welcome to my reflection essay for my COMM-102 class portfolio at the University of Charleston. I would like to begin my explaining my background and touching base on how I ended up at this University.

The last essay that I wrote was a research paper that was about the effects that divorce has on children growing up. Being a product of that type of family, it was something that I was interested researching and informing the audience what factors can end up effecting a child that has divorced
