Reflection 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4CuMA-G8OI&feature=related
This video is so sad and touching at the same time.
It shows that life throws at you unexpected things and awful hurtful things that shouldn't happen in a persons life but yet it still does. This video shows a compassionate love yet a girl who gets her heart broken. It shows the person watching this video that lieing to someone is the worst thing anyone can do. It breaks a trust between you and a loved one and that trust takes a very long time to gain back it's strength. Love is a powerful thing, and once it has a hold of us it's almost like it is in the control over us now. This video really shows that and proves that because this girl who made a mistake strived to fix it and when she didn't she got let down and hurt just the same way she hurt the boy and it turned out to hurt her physically and emotionally.
I liked this video because of the different perspectives you can pick out from it but it was a very long video to watch and in the end it was very sad and hurtful yet love surrounded it all. That diary had so many powerful strong words inside of it written down to prove a love of some body's heart.

Second last video on the page
My dedication to Pam by Sandy
I chose this video because It was talking about disney land and I love disney land. That wasn't the only reason but it is what caught my eye. In this video it totally changes the perspective in this video. It talks about how it has impacted her so much. It brings back memories and history and the truth to the girl about her background and what they had faced earlier in their life. The girl talks about how Pam and her life have been so similar and that they have went through things in their lives that made them realize that for once in their lives they are not alone. They both relate to one another and a friendship has built in so many areas of their lives. It really encouraged me to come to an understanding and knowledge that no matter what we face there is always someone out there facing it too and sometimes facing something even more harsh and painful. It opened my eyes even more to the truth on how we are never alone there is always someone there with us whether it is friends, family or Jesus they never leave. We all have someone in our lives that impact us and sometimes we need to show them that and tell them how thankful we are for them. This video really opened my eyes to that. I loved it!

Thirteenth video down is the one I chose.
I chose this video because it is very touching. It is sad, really sad but the story behind it if you look into it deeper is so touching to me. The little girl talking had a best friend which was her father and as soon as he was gone away she felt so empty and alone and lost and fearful that she strived to look for things that were not good for her. She got lost behind anger and sadness that it began to take away her life from her. The light was faded and gone and all that was left was a dark lonely place you can tell by her voice she was lost. Then she shares that her grandfather was the only male figure in her life after her dad had passed away and I related to this so much because I've only ever had my grandfather as my father figure in my life until he had passed. It tells a story of pain and suffering but strength to keep holding on through every storm because it will move and mountains will lift and be gone. It shows that just a love from another man in her life had brought light around her to find her place again. It taught me that you may think the storm you are facing and the struggles you are battling may seem impossible to defeat and your the only one going through it when really there are so many more people who face even more hardships and difficulties in their lives but the one thing that remains the same is the hurt behind trouble. This girl gives me hope that even though you may have lost someone so special to you or you have grown up without a father figure you are still beautiful and you are so strong and no matter what there is always hope for you.

Love and Forgiveness
I chose this video because personally I can relate to it. I've been through some ups and downs in my own life, but we all go through it too. Some are different circumstances but the hurt always feels the same. I have come to a point in my life where forgiveness is the most beautiful thing you can know and have done. When you forgive someone for their actions, their behavior and their mistakes it suddenly brings you harmony. I have learned in life that bitterness holds you back from the harmony that comes from forgiveness and when there is bitterness towards someone there is nothing that other person can do to show them how they really feel. I have learned that through the mistakes of loved ones and my own mistakes. I have grown up without a father figure in my life, I have a father but he doesn't seem much of a dad at least how a dad is suppose to be. He has let me down in my life so many times and his mistakes have hurt me. I lived with so much hatred and bitterness towards him that it caused so much resentment towards him. I actually thought that men in the world all loved the same and if how my dad treated me and made his mistakes was love then how could I love someone that would just constantly hurt me. I actually thought that love meant hurting someone because it's all I knew from my father. Through that I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and I hurt him because I was so scared that every guy would love like my father and I was so unworthy of love. I thought something was wrong with me so I went out and searched for things I never should have and it brought me to a point of hurt, confusion and pain. I never meant to hurt the love of my life and I am so thankful for still having him here and knowing his love and compassion for me. I am so blessed. I had to forgive my father, completely forgive him for his mistakes don't hold me down any longer and his actions and poor love doesn't affect me any longer because I have a father in heaven who loves me with everything he has and he is worth it all. Forgiveness has brought me light, and harmony. It has brought me strength and faith. I am so thankful for forgiveness and the harmony that comes from it. I am so thankful for everything in my life and how they make me a stronger individual.
That video really reminded me of how beautiful forgiveness is and how forgiveness is the sweetest thing. When you let it all go it's the sweetest thing.

If having to leave this country
In digital story telling class we talked about what we would take along with us if we had to escape where we are right now.
My list consists of many great and wonderful things I would want to bring along with me but my number one would be my boyfriend. I would carry him on my back if I had to. He means the world to me and so much more than just that. We have been through trials, and darkness but only to come out and find the bright light shining for us. He has always been here for me since the first day I met him, and my gratitude for him goes beyond measurable. He has taught me so many things in life that I am so blessed by. He encourages me to be all that I am meant to be and he loves on me through everything. He hears me when I talk to him and he understands me for who I am.
I look up to him for everything, I am so thankful for him and how he is always protecting me and keeping me safe. Without him I wouldn't know what to do, as cliche as that sounds it's the truth. So if I had to drop everything and leave the place where I am right now I would take him with me because he is my strength, he is my hope he is my heart desire and he is my safe, secure place.
I would take this journey of leaving my footsteps behind and move onto a new life as long as I had Jordan with me by my side every step of the way. He is the light of my life, and I know through any difficulties life may throw at us as long as I have him near by and walking hand in hand with me we can make it through any battle, and any kinds of war. We can push through together as a team only to find the better side and to defeat any kind of battles.
I love him, and he is the person I would pack away and take with me on a new journey that life has put in front of me. I will be willing to take those steps of faith and travel on a new road in a new direction as long as bestfriend and my hero is with me hand in hand the whole way through.

I chose this video to reflect on because it has so much truth hidden inside of it. I like how they mentioned about how the sun has always shined for us. It has been here for us in times of peace, and times of war. It can reach the deepest depths and covers abundant amounts of land. I like how when I watch it kind of gives hope. That may sound odd but it just shows that the sun proves peace and comfort. It shows that there is always a hope and always light through any storm. Whether it is war, or emotional storm or physically there is always the sun shining for you at the end.
It can do so many great and wonderful things. I like how he says it can be humble and settle at times and a knowing that it will always recur again. It says a new tomorrow will rise again and that gives hope to us as humans. I like that about this story.
My dislikes would be the fact that he kind of dragged it on for awhile and it is a really long video for a digital story but has such good meaning throughout his words and pictures.
There is always sun shining at the end through every darkness we come across.
