This week we started a new writing project called “This I Believe”. We are supposed to write about things we believe in or things we believe to be true. I am writing my essay on why I believe travel is necessary. I chose this topic because I am an avid traveler. I feel passionate about traveling and will readily advocate it.
There are two things different about this essay though. First of all, it is written in a conversational format. It is supposed to be very informal and to be written as if we are simply talking to a peer. The other thing different about this essay is that we are to record our voice and put it into a video format. I have only done this once before and that was in early elementary school. So this will be an adventure.
I am most uncertain about recording my voice. I, along with many other people, hate the sound of my own voice, especially recordings of it. I know I will have trouble with that. I am excited to edit the video and add music though. I know exactly what types of videos and music that I want to add.
I do want to watch everyone else’s videos. These videos are supposed to leave you a little bit vulnerable. Mostly because they are supposed to be personal and delve into not only what you believe in but personal stories about why you believe in it. It is almost supposed to be confessional. I think this will be an interesting project for eveyone.
