This week we worked on our "This I Believe" projects. It's refreshing being able to write a piece where I don't have to feel like a pompous jerk. Essays are fine and dandy, but I do find them unrealistic and insincere because not many people actually talk like they do in their papers. I sure don't. With this project, I feel like I can express myself 100% truthfully, which is very important to me.
I'm nearly finished with my rough draft, but there is just something off about it. I am not quite sure what it is, but I intend on figuring it out. I plan on finishing it up this weekend, and then recording me saying it. I'm not so excited about that because like most people, I am very self conscious about my voice. Not only am I uncomfortable with my voice, I also say a few words differently than other people, and that is somewhat embarrassing as well. However, I am super stoked about making the video. When I was in sixth grade I made a music video for "Come Together" by The Beatles, and it was a blast. I am excited to make this one because I am older, and have better technology. Filmmaking has also always fascinated me, and this is a nice way to get my toes in the water.
