The hummingbird spirit animal symbolizes the enjoyment of life and lightness of being. Those who have the hummingbird as a totem are invited to enjoy the sweetness of life, lift up negativity wherever it creeps in and express love more fully in their daily endeavors. This fascinating bird is capable of the most amazing feats despite its small size, such as traveling great distances or being able to fly backwards. By affinity with the hummingbird, those who have this bird as totem may be encouraged to develop their adaptability and resiliency while keeping a playful and optimistic outlook.
Hummingbird describes my grandmother perfectly. For my senior documentary thesis I profiled my grandmother, my Mymoe, Theresa McGlon. I know everyone thinks that their grandmother is amazing, but mine really is. The story of how she had to start her life over at 67 exemplifies how amazing she really is. My grandfather was arrested about 10 years ago and she was left with absolutely nothing. She had our family support but it was her decision to get a job and support herself. Theresa is now assistant manager of a Chicos clothing store in Atlanta, Georgia. She works full-time and is one of the top sales associates in the southeast. This short documentary will tell her story as well as my grandfather's side of the story. The two have a love that cannot be explained and while interviewing Theresa when talking about her love for Pat she could never really put it into words.

I had the opportunity to travel to Israel and tour the country for 10 days. The trip is called Caravan for Democracy and is sponsored by the Jewish National Fund.
Caravan for Democracy (CFD) trains college students to become advocates for Israel by encouraging them to be leaders on their campuses and in their communities. CFD promotes constructive dialogue about Israel and the Middle East by bringing a cross section of Israeli politicians and diplomats, journalists, professors, and advocacy trainers to discuss the challenges Israel faces.
I made this short video for JNF to help spread the word about Caravan for Democracy.
