For the first week of my fourth class, I got the chance to make a digital story, using iMovie, a program I had never used before. At first it was difficult to decide on what I wanted to tell. At first I thought of creating a memorial for my grandma, "MawMaw" but I still wasn't sure how or what I would tell. When I was in junior high/high school I was always told how much I looked like her when she was younger and how I acted like her too. Growing up I spent most of my time with her, we were inseparable, I even would make myself sick just so I could stay with her. But still as much as I thought about this, I wasn't sure it was right.
The second idea I had was the one I stuck with and in my opinion it turned out pretty well for my first try. When I saw little, I always wanted to be with my dad, if he went to the store, I was there, if he went to work, I wanted to go too. My dad and I were so close until somewhere around my sophomore year in college... you always hear, "in college you will figure out and find who you are" and for me, that was very true. When my views began to change, we were always disagreeing and just couldn't get on the same page. It wasn't until I was well into adulthood that my dad started "accepting" how I thought, although we still didn't agree. There was a time period that we didn't talk much and I really didn't have anything to say because it always turned into some kind of mini argument. And then everything changed, although it was many years later, seeing my dad in the hospital and not knowing if he would make it through the next surgery, I decided that no matter if we had the same views or not, he was still my dad and there was no reason to be so distant.
I hope, if you view my video that you enjoy it and makes you think of someone close to you that has drifted away, but hopefully will come back.
