For my Capstone project, I created a short documentary film that captures the experiences of student-athletes at SLA Beeber. Originally planned as a written series of blog profiles, the project evolved into a video format after I realized that written words alone couldn’t fully convey the energy, emotion, and personality of the athletes. I conducted interviews, coordinated filming schedules, and learned video editing software to produce a finished product that reflects the heart, struggles, and dedication of our athletic community. Through this process, I discovered a passion for storytelling through video, blending creativity with technical skill. I also developed stronger communication and project management abilities while working with peers to ensure their voices were represented honestly and respectfully. This video not only shares personal narratives but also highlights the challenges student-athletes face in balancing academics, athletics, and life outside of school. It serves as both a celebration of their efforts and a resource for future students considering athletics. Ultimately, this project helped me realize my role as a connector someone who brings stories to light and fosters understanding within the community.
