In My Words, by Anastasia
I liked being able to use the camera and meeting new people from places you don’t go to everyday. Through the week we did a lot of camera shooting and me and Sheila didn’t like being in front of the camera. (Unfortunately we had to anyways but we easily got over it). Besides camera work, we learned how to deal with stress and being different. We also learned what media was and how commercials put hairspray on hamburgers to make them stick. We went to Nay Aug Park and made bracelets and collages about what we liked. In the uniquely ME! books was like being different, how to deal with stress, etc. That’s what I liked about the Real Girls in Reel Life Film Institute.
