Digital Story 2 Topic
 My second story is going to be about dyslexia. its something i lived with for many years, and want to learn why we learn/ understand/ read/ write differently. There are many famous people that has dyslexia such as tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom and Cher etc. its not something that in shy of, that's why i want to explain to other people. For me its just a way of life, but to others it might be a question. when i tell a person i am dyslexic people always want to know what it is, so that's one of the reason why i want to make a video about it and i want others to realized that its actually an interesting reason why i and other dyslexic people is the way we are.

Portfolio Reflection
my comparison between my video and the Graduate profile is that my video contains a lot of the same connect that the graduate profile is written about. such as being Academically Prepared and being Collaborative Team Members. in my video  it shows you that i'm Academically prepared because i write to get better and i have a job.  also being Collaborative Team Members is a bigger part of my video because im on a lot of teams and i relized being on a team is very helpful in life. it not only fun but it teaches you to become one with a team to reach a goal.

my video isn't an about me it explains how i became my self in my generation. i had to think long and hard to make my video about my family and what I've became. i like old music like Queen and Beatles and i think that makes me have and more of an open
mind to understand what happened in the passed. i don't think soccer is a popular sport but i love it and its a huge 
part of me, my family and my culture. my video explains what i do but not why i do things. i play soccer
because my whole family is crazy about it for years. also being Italian made me realized how different my family 
is from everyone else. i hope you enjoy my video and understand little bit of me .
