Defining 2020: “Creating this video at home was a bit of a challenge. I didn‚Äôt have the proper camera and had to film only when it was convenient for my family, but I made it work. My video exemplifies the Defining 2020 focus because it really shows how I had to be resourceful and flexible when filming, just as we all have had to be this year. 2020 has been a rough year for everyone, and I hope people enjoy the video that I worked so hard to make.”
Educational Message: “When creating this video, I wanted people to see that creativity can come from anywhere. Too often today, we underestimate ourselves and limit our creativity, when really, we all have the potential to do and make wonderful things. I hope that people learn about creativity from this video and are entertained.”
