10 Things I've Learned In My Life
In English we were asked to create a list titled "10 Things I've Learned In My Life". In WebAudio, we further enhanced the assignment by creating a podcast. This was our first podcast of the year and (for many of us) the first exposure to programs like Flash. I definitely learned a lot during this process & had a lot of fun as well!
- Never apologize for the way you feel.
- You’re under no obligation to be who you were five minutes ago. Especially if you don’t like who you were five minutes ago.
- Absolutely fight fire with fire.
- Hindi music is always therapeutic.
- From 14 to 22 you meet a lot of temporary people.
- Cut out people who threaten your joy.
- It is not conceited to love yourself.
- You are worthy of, but not entitled to happiness and love.
- People say they love you all the time. Even when they say “watch your step” or “why didn’t you call me back”. Make sure you’re listening.
- You will be okay.
In English we were asked to write a list titled "10 Things I've Learned in My Life". In WebAudio we were asked to chose images that went with each of these statements and then create a podcast based on these statements. This was our first podcast of the year and it was created with a program called Adobe Flash. We chose images, recorded audio, created music and then imported these all into the Flash Library. We then dragged them into their respective scenes and after a bit of fiddling around, our podcast was finished. These statements are things I've learned over the course of my life & (hopefully) they'll offer a little more insight on who I am.
English Media Piece
After creating our list of 10 things, we were asked to choose one as our personal statement. I chose "it's not conceited to love yourself (alternatively "Don't apologize for the fierce love that you have for yourself"). In English we were then asked to create a media piece that represented our personal statement. I encourage you to look at it & form your own opinions/thoughts about it. After you do, there is audio of me explaining my piece and what it means to me below.
