However, I overcame them with the help of my brother and his technological expertise. In the process of creating my rough draft, I probably had the worst idea imaginable. I planned to finish this video through the use of an application that I downloaded from my iPhone. The application was a video maker, and this was perhaps…

Before beginning this course, I knew that I lacked confidence within my writing. People say that you are your own worst critique, and I fully agree with that statement.
