Very good digital story, Melissa. You make a really great pitch for becoming a teacher ;-)

I love this video so much and how you made connections to softball! Great music, pictures, pacing, narration, use of text, very creative!

PS. the shout-out was cute :)

The music you used is completely perfect for the video! The analogy you used is great, and I love how you hooked us into the story by having us come out to the field with you. How could I not with the promise of sunflower seeds?!

Melissa,

As always, your work is so amazing! The music is perfect for moving the piece forward, and I love the connections that you make to softball... (The picture of you on the curveball title page is soooo intense, I love it!) GREAT JOB!

P.S. I love the little shout outs to Bobby throughout the video, haha!

I feel like I know you so much more! I love, love, LOVE how you made the connection between softball and teaching. Not only is your video very technically difficult (i.e. when you went back in the beginning and the way the camera zooms in and out), but what your saying means so much. Everything, from the music in the background and the text makes this video look like such high quality. AND you were such a cute kid! One of my favorites, for sure!
