          Digital Story: I never thought of myself as a storyteller or a good writer, in fact, I hated writing papers before coming back to college. Now, I feel like I can write a pretty decent paper, but I still feel like I am struggling in the storytelling area. Maybe it is because I do not use enough descriptive words or because I do not embellish the truth to make it sound more interesting, but my stories never appear to hold the listener's attention.

I currently work in the automobile industry and I do not feel I am going to change anyone's life by selling them a vehicle. I also want to be a teacher because I enjoy working with children and I like to see the expression on a kids face when they learn something new or what I am teaching clicks in. My daughter just got her drivers permit and we went driving last night for the first time.
