alter/ memoir

I did my alter/ memoir on memories and things that make me happy. The first thing you see in my video is a picture of me and my cross country team in high school at a starting line. Along with the picture is a track number that you stick on before you run your race and a 1st place medal. Track was a very important time in my life and it's one of the best memories that I have.

Next in my video i have a family photo because i love family and even though mine is tiny, there is so much love between us. After the family photo i have the infamous Rutgers "R" because without Rutgers I would probably not be in school right now. Then i have a dream catcher and a little note. The dream catcher means alot to me. I have them scattered all across my room and have a large tattoo of one. The little note is from my roommate that says "Just because you're amazing." Me and my roommate randomly leave each other little sticky notes to uplift one another and to make each others day.

After the sticky note i have a wine glass and a picture of me and my boyfriend. I used the wine glass because who doesnt love wine and because it has cheetah on it which i used to be obsessed with. The picture of my boyfriend is there because he makes me happy and is capable of dealing with my crazy ways as best as possible.

Lastly I have photos of me and my brother and a purple ribbon, The purple ribbon stands for Awareness of Domestic Violence and this hits close to home. My mother was a victim of domestic violence and almost lost her life to it. The ribbon is in front of the picture we hung in the hospital for my mom so that she had motivation to keep fighting and not give up. Then i have photos of me and my brother and elephants. Elephants never walk the same path twice and that is why i have become so intrigued with them. The photos of my brother are there because he is my rock when things get tough.
