This video tells people a lot about me. First, it tells people that i’m creative, as seen by the amazing production quality. It also lets people know tons of information about my life. It tells people that I have a sense of humor, and also lets them know where i’m from Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (upstate). Also, it lets people know some of my interests, especially swimming which is a huge part of my life. It lets people know that my family is very important to me, and gives people simple things such as my favorite color, and my love for America. The entire video is a journey through my life, it displays my current environment, and my past environment. It shows how people change and adapt to new environments. This video is crucial in learning who I am, David Scholes.
I leave you with a poem, by MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
wow! great video
