This is my personal narrative story about the Dana Park playground and how I grew up around it and why it is so important to me and my childhood.

Hi I'm Jacob and this is my first blog entry. I have worked at SMI before and have been editing videos for a while. I'm excited to be at SMI again even though I'm repeating a project that I did last year due to the fact that I am in the beginner group due to space limitations. I can't wait to finish working on my personal narrative project which I chose to write about Dana Park, a playground on magazine street that used to be the main park students used at the Cambridgeport school. I chose to make my movie about Dana Park because I used to spend a lot of time there and I experienced many memorable moments there with my friends and family. So far I have shot everything I needed, recorded the voice over, found archival photos, and begun editing and putting together the entire movie.
