This week in class we shared our This I Believe videos. Most of the videos shared were very personal, and about touchy subjects, and this allowed me to learn a lot about classmates. There was a large range of topics like traveling, being yourself, bullying, and failing. I even ended up learning stuff about my close friends. I’m glad that our classroom environment isn't very judgmental, as far as I can tell, or else I don't think people would have shared the stories and beliefs they did. I was afraid that most of the videos would be sad, and I wanted to avoid that, so I tried to make mine as uplifting as possible. I thought that my class had a lot of diverse themes/beliefs, which was cool. I think we have a really creative class because each video was so unique. I especially liked Kiara’s, even though she was kind of doing a different project, I really enjoyed it. In 2nd hour it seemed like a lot of people talked about their belief in their faith in some way or another, so it was kind of repetitive. However, even though many of their beliefs revolved around religion, everyone's videos were very different and interesting to watch. Although I didn't realize how religious our school was. Overall I think this is a pretty interesting and unique assignment. It makes you use writing and storytelling skills, which I guess could be important in the future. I mostly enjoyed creating the video for the project. My favorite part of my video is the end when I added a clip of Hillary Clinton making a comment about staying home and baking cookies.
