Let's just say I am super proud of what video and I hope who ever is out there enjoys my creation!

This process was a long haul for me. I figured that writing one page was not going to hard, but I was wrong. I really thought that I did a good job with my first draft until I had to write it out like five more times. Each time I wrote a new draft, I just keep getting more frustrated each time. I wanted to give up, but if you know me, I am not that kind of person. So with that in mind, I seek out for help at the writing center and then talked to the lovely dr. bonnie kyburz.

Setting aside time and editing the draft that I had at the time, I was able to finally wrap my brain around my mircotheme. I was able to finally see it and understand it for the first time. I do not know why I was so upset throughout the entire time I was trying to write this. My opinion is still 'don't do drugs,' but I can understand why people do it. It amazes me that I can say and see from that perspective cause I am very strong headed. I honestly think that was pushing me back from it all is that I know people that only had the worst outcomes from it all...DUI's, homeless, jobless, jail time, over doses, deaths... My boyfriend really helped me understand and opened my eyes about the topic because he is one of the people that I know that had a rough time in the past and is paying the consequences now.

After presenting my final work, I was able to finally breathe. I felt trapped with this paper. I was so happy though that the over all project was more of a life lesson. It opened my eyes and really made me more curious. My video really showed how both the deep, dark side to drugs and having quotes that was "positive" about drugs helped express the overall lesson that I learned...understanding people's choices and reasoning.
