I am Dana Spencer

Hello, I'm Dana Spencer.

That's obviously not my name

but it's who I am at the moment.



Here is Dana


And here is Spencer

Both of them have one of my dream jobs; animator.

However I'm not as good as them
and they're honestly not that amazing.

They are talented but they're not there.
Both of them have begun working for other companies.

At the moment I am Dana Spencer
Half way to where these guys are
but Dana Spencer is not who I want to be.
Dana Spencer is who I will surpass.
My name will be the leader of the studio
and my films will hit the big screens
and I will create what I want.

  • If you knew me you would know that I ALWAYS listen to music and I, in fact, like too much music.  Too many genres and artists.
  • If you knew me you would understand that creative was really fun because I'm actually really corny so poetry is right up my alley.
  • If you knew me you would know that my favorite things to do are actually NOT play video games but Snowboarding, Surfing and Wakeboarding.
  • If you knew me you have probably noticed that I am not exactly the most talkative person.  I don't start conversation, but once we have one going I can go for hours.
  • If you knew me you would know that I am a pacifist.  Or at least I try to be.  I can't be the same little ball of rage I was throughout elementary and middle school.
  • If you knew me than you know that friends are the most important thing to me.  Fav quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".  I find it powerful that there are people who won't leave me and that they love me unconditionally without feeling like they are obligated to do so because of a predetermined relation.
  • If you knew me you would know that I haven't gone to church in 4 months, cuss too much, don't really care about a lot of the rules that I was taught from the church yet still loves God because of everything that is here and given to me.
  • If you knew me you would know that if I call you a friend I completely mean it.  Fake friends defined the first 7 years of living in Utah, and I'm not about to put anyone through that hell.
And one day you will see the name Jordan Jay Williams on the credits of an award winning animated film.
And that I have a friend who kinda looks like she could be my sister.
And that I have ridiculous faces on rollercoasters
And Snapchat probably should've been taken away from me a long time ago
I'm sad to see the creative writing class come to an end
but it won't change that I will continue writing
because once in my life I had someone who made me enjoy it.
Mr. Nelson, you've done so much for me and the writers paris this year, and it's been a blast.  I can't express my thanks to it's full extent, but maybe you can understand a glimpse of my thanks when I give you my journal.  Never would I have thought that I could just walk out into the school hall and perform what I had known for all of two days and only lasted 40 seconds.  It felt good to not worry.




I am Dana Spencer
but Jordan Jay Williams will come around someday.
