My digital story is all about me finding out I was going to be a mother for the first time. I did not have a stereotypical response; I didn't jump up and down with joy. No, I cried and was terrified. But with the love and support of my husband, we fixed our situation to prepare to be parents. My story ends with me showing that adding children to your lives does not mean that your life is over. Adding a child to our lives meant that our lives had just begun.
At first, I thought my story was just that, a story. I didn't think it could be used to do any of things mentioned. But I began to think about my audience, young mothers. My story could provide support young girls who became pregnant and were scared or nervous. Too often, women are expected to be overjoyed at becoming pregnant, but that puts lot of pressure on them. Sometimes, young girls need to know that it is okay to be afraid of becoming a mother. I think my video shows that it is okay to be afraid, but with love and support, everything will turn out good in the end.
Jessie, I enjoyed your story. I especially like the end of it. I'm sure others have felt like you did and it is always good to know someone else has felt the same way. The music was very calming and soothing. Good job.
ReplyDeleteYou're story is very inspirational. I've never been through the same situation, but I think this is something that could probably feel reassuring to first time mothers, especially if they're having similar feelings. You did a great job, Jessie. Thanks for sharing!
