I have watched the movies in class and I was amazed by the power that the movies had. The impact of storytelling on ones life is very impressionable and I do believe that everyone has a story to tell.

After spending several years in our education system I have come to feel that my liking for stories and my imagination have been suppressed. Digital story telling will provide me with a rare opportunity to open up and reinvent myself as a story teller.
