INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Use Loom to record yourself while reading the article aloud. You may split the reading part into as many recordings as necessary. In your Virtual Professionals notebook, reflect on Sekou’s story and write about how you can personally relate to his journey. Think about the challenges he faced and how he turned them into opportunities, then connect that to your own experience. Be sure to include how you ended up becoming a virtual assistant—what motivated you, what changes you went through, and what inspired your decisions. Elaborate on your turning point and the impact it had on your life. Use your own words while writing, and it should be composed of at least 200 words.
Do not use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.
