Naomi tells the story of how she wanted to come to California, but wasn't sure how or if she could really do it. She struggles with wanting to follow her own dreams while still making her family proud, and also with the difficulty of finding a meaninful way to put her technology skills to good use.

This story was created in a CDS three day workshop, where Naomi and her supervisor at OTX West joined other AmeriCorps CTC VISTA volunteers to learn more about digital storytelling.

This digital story was created by Nola and Arnaldo, two teen members from different Clubhouses in the Bay Area (CA) who reflected on how the culture and environment of the place that they live influences them to act, create, and lead. It features mostly photos downloaded off their MySpace pages and original music by Arnaldo. This story was created as part of the digital storytelling track at the 2006 Intel Computer Clubhouse Teen Summit.
