People worthy of Honor

Throughout the experience of creating this video and interviewing someone worthy of recognition I believe that I grew a lot individually as a person. That sounds cliche. However, the two days I spent with Jimmy Calnan were probably the best two days of my college experience. I say this because things were truly put into perspective for me. So filming him was an honor and I hope to share his story with people outside of just this immediate class. With that said I think that our video was well put together and we could have some improvements on the graphics and editing. I absolutely loved watching the other group's videos and their amazing people and story-lines. Each one was different in their respective manners which was great. Some were more serious than others yet they all reflected purpose and meaning.

When we were first assigned this project I was pretty mad since the timeline was so short. BUT it was truly worth the stress and the work that was put into it. I wouldn't give up the time I spent with Jimmy for anything. He amazed me and I am sure will amaze the world if he ever gets the ability to do so. Here is a cute picture Lisa and I took with him:

He is so cute!!!!!!!

Similarly, going to the places he volunteers at made me want to look into volunteering for some of the places he does. I plan on e-mailing him the video after we make our improvements and asking him some volunteer sites that are looking for workers.

Please look into this disease and ways to help.

If there is one think i wish for people to leave with from our presentation of our video is that there is always hope. Everyone has their own tragic story, some more serious than others, but there is no reason to lose positivism and optimism. Jimmy is the prime example of this. He lights up his life with everything that he surrounds himself with and uses that gift and embraces others with it. I hope he continues to battle this deadly disease. He has so far successfully defeated this disease and in the end I truly hope with all of my heart that he comes out a winner.
