you put your mind to it.• This experience has shown me how easily one
video can affect hundreds of people.• After talking with Adonis’ mom I came to realize
life is too short.• I learned how to manage my time better.

REFLECTIONThis was not a project, but an experience. I’m glad I chose the topic I did because it changed how I view things now. After completing the video I felt a sense of accomplishment not only with myself but how I touched other people’s lives.

FUTUREThis project has made me realize how much I love video editing and how I might consider taking classes in that field. I want to grow from this experience and keep helping the community. There will be no empty seats for the class of 2013 due to car accidents.
