I am from the dirt, from mud smeared on my hands and face to cracked and dry soil piled into a toy dump truck. I am from swirling dust that kicks up as I slide across home plate. I am from water, or rather lack thereof. I am from lucky summer days spent under a sprinkler, pretending to make shampoo out of flowers, and then retiring to my room with a fan to fend off 110° heat. I am from car horns honking as people scramble through 7 lanes, all with the simple goal of getting to their destination. From those who didn’t always understand that everyone was just trying their best. I am from small trinkets and collections. From every brand of sugar packet I could find and perfectly organized bookshelves ordered by color and alphabet. The smallest smells, sounds, sights, and feelings will remind me of where I’m from.
I chose Microsoft Sway because it seemed more intuitive and I am more used to Microsoft tools. The way everything flows together feels less formal than a traditional slideshow and fitting for a simpler website. It’s also convenient that it saves in OneDrive which makes it a lot easier to access and keep track of.
