Digital Story Telling

The Way of Barbers


I orginally clicked on this link, because  miss read it as Walt Disney. However, I was pleasantly surprised with my happening upon this story of a little old barber. I felt comforted in the fact that he emphasized somethings never change, like a barber. Keeping up with his fathers supplies, made me feel a sense of pride in your family and family line. I also liked the fact that his dad passed down a bible with the tools of his trade. almost hinting that he relied on it just as much as scissors to be successful. I also thought his approach to being a barber was rather fascinating. It is not something you nessicarly think about, but your barber does play somewhat of an instrumental role in your life. But, like he noted they never know when customers die or move on. That was interesting to me, because a barber is crucial to how we present ourselves, but then again barely knows us.

A Lesson in Time


I really enjoyed this story. First, because the young woman talks of her great grandmother becoming a doctor, which is a goal of mine. It reminded me of my story, because something during the Civil War, a time of tragedy, sparked in her a desire to serve and help others. Simmilarly when my baby cousin was passing away from a brain tumor, I had a similar realization that I too wanted to go to medical school and help those who are hurting. I think sometimes, it takes a real life experience like war or losing a loved one to want to make that commitment. I am thankful for people like the speakers great grandmother who forged the road for women to becoming doctors. I only hope that I can have the courage and perservance that this woman must have faced when pursuing a career in medicine at that time.

Nurstory

All of the videos I watched were in the Nurstory section.  These videos were very interesting to me because I am about to apply for Nursing school.  The three videos that I watched were Vicki Erikson's digital story, Go Around, and Rural Folks. Vicki Erickson's was my favorite story; however, I think that she needed a more interesting title.  If I wasn't interesting in becoming a NICU nurse then I probably wouldn't have stayed on her video for very long.  Her voice was very soothing and soft and the music went along with the story perfectly.  The video that was my least favorite was Go Around. I just felt that she was reading off a pice of paper and the story didn't really pull me in.
