Where I Am From

Your digital story reminded me of...a traditional upbringing in WV, aside from Oyster Stew, that threw me a bit.

Your family is different /or/ similar to mine because...different, especially since I was an only child until 10, then that was only step siblings, and I can tell your sisters are an important part of your life.

If you were to do this story again you should...
My main two problems that I have is sometimes the font is completely blinded out on some of the slides where I can't tell what is said. A color change could easily change that, so not too hard. And the other is with your heavier text slides, extend how long they are viewed, the next to the last one would be a good example, if I remember right. I didn't hear any music though that could be a glitch.

What I liked best about your story is...how traditional it was, a very rich family culture.

Your digital story reminded me of...a very close knit family who values hard work.

Your family is different /or/ similar to mine because...very similar--you seem very close to your family and seem to have been brought up in a very similar way to how I was. You and your sisters seem really close, and I'm the same way with my sister.

If you were to do this story again you should...change the font color on some of the slides so it shows up better. There were just a few place where I couldn't see the words.

What I liked best about your story is...it gave a great portrayal of what it is like to live in West Virginia. People who aren't from here might not value the family ties and value of hardwork that your photostory depicts, but I most certainly do.

Hi Whitney! I really enjoyed your photostory. It actually reminded me of the things I think of in regards to WV- togetherness (in your case with family)and the beautiful wildlife and foliage here. =) I only have one biological brother, but was raised closely with my godparents 4 daughters so I appreciated how close you are with your sisters.

Some of the slides were a bit hard to read because of the font color, but you've already heard that.

My favorite part was probably seeing just how much you enjoy your family. The world needs more of that. =)

Whitney your story reminded me of deep family values. Your family is is similiar to mine because of how close you are, and yeah family reunions are alway a good time. The only addition to the story would be music. What I liked most was how your story reflected what its like to be a true West Virginia. Great Job!

Hi Whitney, I really enjoyed you photostory. The picture of you and your Grandma wearing crazy glasses was pretty sweet. I have only two negative comments:
1. The text was difficult to see at times.
2. Music would have made a great photostory amazing. lol

So that's it. I enjoyed it. Good job.
