I appreciated this video because I too come from an Appalachian background and until I became an adult I didn't think that I was multi-dimensional or interesting either. I related in a lot of ways to the author, from her grandfathers large family (although my grandmother came from a family with 14 children), to her grandmothers heritage. (My maternal great grandfather came from Ireland).
I didn't note any negatives in this story. The entire story had a nice flow.
Jarod St. Brown:
The only negative that could possibly be noted in this digital story is the delay with the photos. I enjoyed hearing about the authors relationship with his father and grandfather and about their differences. Despite this, both of them helped to shape his life. Differences between his father and his grandfather were accepted unconditionally. I related to this video because I have also traveled to many places in America with my family. I agree that when you have the opportunity to "see America, you do it."
Amber Haller:
This story was short but it's meaning was abundantly clear. The author wanted us to know that it's never to late to reach your dreams. I am also working on my Master's degree and started it nearly 12 years AFTER obtaining my BS in Education. I was a wife and a mother before I chose to go back to school,but despite the obstacles I was and am able to reach my dreams. I thought Amber did a stellar job in meeting the criteria of a digital story with few words and photos.
