What were the main ideas we learned this past week?


I learned to really appreciate my own work. I have received a lot more praise from some of my friends on my wevideo. At first, I was a little unsure if I even liked my project. Now with some back up from friends and family, I started to grow to love my hard work I put into the video. 

I also learned that it feels good to help as much as I can with other classmates. I have helped them with videos and recording. I guess that's a perk to getting done early. That leads to me learning if I work hard early and get projects and other assignments done then that makes it a lot less stressful for me. I used to procrastinate until the last day and I would be stressed and freaking out. Now I learned, if I get it done sooner, I do not need to rush my work and worry about it later. 

What were the main ideas we learned this past week?


I learned something about myself that I most likely wouldn't have without this class. I opened up with the This I Believe story we had to write. I wrote about how music saved my life and how it can save someone's life in general. That wasn't an easy topic for me because the story was personal and I honestly didn't want to talk about it at first. In the end, I know I picked the right choice of topic because I could show emotion and passion.

The few people that I showed my story to so far said it was very well done. So all my second guessing went away. I presented a side I don't normally show and it lets people know more about me. I learned about leadership of my own work. I took a stand for something that I believed in and it feels pretty good. 

I also learned the internet program of Wevideo. It's an easy to use video editing program and I'm glad we learned it. I could use it in the future as well.
