WJI Blog 2022, May 27 AM - Video Screening Day

This morning I woke up with butterflies in my stomach. We were scheduled to watch our video projects today that we had poured over for hours and hours. Even though I enjoyed this project, quite literally broadcasting yourself on a gigantic screen for everyone to see is nerve wracking.

The butterflies soon fluttered away as we began to watch everyone’s projects. It was interesting to see how we all covered the same story, and yet 28 different stories were created. You could see all of the hard work and hours spent on them shine through.

It is a very rewarding feeling to be able to face a challenge head on and see yourself come through to the other side. As we wrap up our first week, it is amazing to reflect on how much I have learned in such a short amount of time.

A week ago we all arrived as strangers, and just a mere week later we are anything but.
