Hi all! This week has been rather exciting for me: I’ve gotten to help log footage for the DREAM Storytelling Documentary and help choose clips for their latest work sample. I’ve been working directly with my site supervisor, Dr. Perkins, at her house all this week and will be next week as well. I’ve learned a lot about all the moving parts of DREAM and the different arms, so to speak, that the organization has. While I have met a lot of the leadership in DREAM, Dr. Perkins was able to shine a light on different aspects of different roles I wasn’t noticing or didn’t know about before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting to see the footage of the community, volunteers, and workers of DREAM has also aided by showing visually how everyone works together and how in a community organization like DREAM that often overlaps with personal life. One of the things I like the most about DREAM is how tight-knit the community is and how this even follows through into the organization itself. Often you hear people say that you shouldn’t work with your family or friends but DREAM seems to act as proof this isn’t always true. I think one might argue that it actually helps the organization rather than make things more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone is so welcoming and as I still meet more people in the community, I find these feelings about DREAM to be magnified and validated more and more. I think one quality the documentary film will capture is this community feeling that quite frankly I think is undeniable about DREAM. I’m really looking forward to logging and seeing more footage through this next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
