Digital Story 3 Narrative

Hello, my name is Pandie and I am a Giant Panda bear. When I was a cub I spent the first 18 months of my life with my mother and three brothers. Then my mother left, and she left me and my brothers alone. Before she left she old us to look out for the evil men in uniform. That was the last time I saw my mother. My brothers and I did everything together. Our favorite thing to do was eat our bamboo, but it makes us thirsty. One day as we were drinking water we spotted the men in uniform. They were chopping down our home, and all of our bamboo. We were so upset. How were we going to survive? Then they spotted us. The men in uniform saw us. So we ran away as fast as we could. I heard loud noises i did not recognize. It sounded like a a rock hitting the ground. I turned around to see where my brothers were, but I could not see them.  I was suddenly all alone.Then I heard a man in uniform yell, "Now you three are going to a zoo!" I have heard about a zoo. In a zoo you are locked in a cage all day, that is terrible. I have no where to live, and nothing to eat. How will I survive? It wont be too long until the men in uniform get me...

Digital story 2



This digital story shows what I see myself doing in the future. In the future I would either like to be a pediatrician or a pharmacist. I will have to do good in school and go to college for a long time, but I am willing to do it because in order to be successful I must persevere. In the future I also see myself married with children. When I hit retirement I would like to explore the world because there are so many things I still have to learn. I have my whole future ahead of me, and perseverance is how I will achieve my dreams.

Digital Story 2 Narrative

Everybody has a dream. People can share the same dream, but they can only achieve that dream if they really work for it. I have many options for my future if I really set my mind to my everything I do. There are many things I can explore, and so much to learn. Throughout my life I always loved to help people, and I love the feeling I get when I know I am doing something good. I thought that if I were going to do something with my life I should be doing something that I love to do. My plans for the future are to help people, and I will acheive that by having a profession in the medical field. I love working with little kids, and I figured that a good way to work with them is to become a pediatrician. Even though teachers work with kids also, I do not want to become a teacher because I am more interested in science studies than english, and other subjects. I want to treat children when they don't feel well, and help them feel better. When I become a pediatrician, eventually I would like to open my own office. In the future I also see myself married, and having three or more children. Maybe I'll even have a dog or two. I will have to work hard to achieve this dream, but I am willing to put in the effort

Graduate Protfolio Reflection-Story 1


My digital story relates to the graduate portfolio because i have to use technology while doing this assignment. They also relate because my digital story was about me and my graduate protfolio will be about me too. In the graduate porftolio I have to make a multi media component which could be a video or power point and my digital story was like the two of them combined. My digital story does not only relate to my graduate portfolio by technology, but it alos has in common who I am in the world. In the graduate portfolio assignment I have to write about me as a global citizen,and in my digital story I had to talk about myself as a person in the 21st century. In the portfolio project I have to talk about some multi media projects I did, and I could use my digital story as an example of a multi media project i did. The graduate portfolio assignment and my digital story relate in many ways.

your identity in the 21st century

My identity in the 21st century

Living in the 21st century every thing is done using technology. I cannot be defined as a girl who depends on technology for everything. Instead of being on the computer I volunteer for different things. I walk for different causes such as cystic fibrosis and breast cancer. These walk make me feel like great because I'm helping someone who needs it. In the summer I volunteer at a daycare. Being around little kids makes me feel so happy because every time they learn something I feel like im doing a good thing, and when their faces light up and it makes me happy to see them so excited and proud. I love helping people because it makes me feel like this is what I'm supposed to do in my life, and when i do i feel like that i know that i am doing something right. I also volunteer at school for things such as open house, shows, and orientations. I have many nationalities, but my main nationality is Puerto Rican. Many people are surprised to find out that i am Puerto Rican because I do not look it. the only thing about me that is Puerto Rican is my hair and eye color. Some of my other nationalities are Italian, Irish, Polish, Dutch and some more. My parents are happily married, and having me as their oldest they depend on me to set examples for my two brothers and my baby sister. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. My family are the people that I can depend on no matter what. i always look forward to having the whole family together on holidays and birthdays. when im around my family im not afraid to be myself because i know i wont be judged. i always laugh when I'm around my family, and since both of my parents came from large families things can get a little crazy, but thats okay with me.
