assignment blog: talent strips

     aighht, so this is obviously about our class's talent strips that we all made. our talent strips are just three little strips of colored paper with our name on one side of the strip, and our talent on the other side of it. on those strips, we needed a talent on each one. we had to put what the talent was, how it would help the leadership program, and how we found that certain talent we put on our strip. on my three strips, (which were blue, pink, and purple) i had the talents of creativity, singing, and organization. I only got to share the first two talents because we had to put the third talent in our talent strip presentation. i said that sining is a big talent of mine. Sining could help this program because singing involves using the diaphragm which is something you use to sing louder. With that, you could apply using your diaphragm to talking, so that when you talk while using your diaphragm, you would be able to talk in front of large crowds, so that they'll be able to hear you even though they're very far away from you. i found this talent when i was small, but i was tone deaf and i was very shy and quiet, and because of that my mom and aunty taught me how to sing and use my diaphragm. the second talent i shared is the talent of creativity. i said that creativity is needed in this program because without creativity, all the things we make, such as flyers, posters, intro, etc. would be boring and unattractive. so without creativity, the leadership program would be boring and uncreative with everything we make. no one likes seeing uncreative flyers everywhere because they wouldn't want to read it, but with creative posters and flyers, they'd want to read it because it's so creative. i found my talent when i was in the second grade because my class would always make presentations, and my presentations were always the best and most creative presentations out of everyone.

       my highlight of these talent strips would be making the presentation. making presentations is always fun for me because i actually have something to do for once. making presentations is one of my talents. another highlight would be sharing my talent strips. even though i hate talking in front of classes, i still have fun once i get into it. i wanted to show everyone that i can be loud, i can be confident, and i did by sharing my ridiculously awesome talent strips. i also had a lot of fun hearing everyone else's talent strips. i've always wanted to know what everyone else specializes in. it's always fun to know what kinds of things other people specialize in because that tells me more about them. like if you're good at focusing, that tells me that you must be really good at not wanting to eat as much food as you want when you have a lot of homework due the next day. seeing people that are creative are my kind of people. lol, and seeing people that are organized shows me that they must be very organized, you know like their cubbies, binders, life, etc. lol, and the lowlight would be having to make a video of us doing the third talent we made. i was like, "so many videos!!!" i got a little irritated because i thought that the video had to be at least three minutes long, and then when i see everyone else's videos, it's like a minute long, i got so irritated because i took so much time working on a video and trying to make it at least three minutes. i honestly thought that he said the video should be at least two minutes and fifty seconds long, but lol nvm…

       there aren't many changes i would want to make in this assignment, but if i did want to make changes, i would make changes to how long my video would be. i would want my video to be at least a little shorter than it is now because i never knew that it could be at least a little shorter. i have like 5 examples of being organized. i had a hard time thinking of five because before i found out that my video wasn't at least three minutes, i couldn't think of anything else. i had a really hard time thinking of examples of how to be organized. i had such a hard time thinking of examples that i had to ask everyone in the house examples of being organized. another thing i would change is using a camera to record myself being organized. using a camera to record myself being organized because i didn't know how to make the video go onto my phone so that i could edit it. and getting it onto the computer was a hassle, so next time, i'll remember to use something to record myself that i know how to make it go onto the computer.

       lesson learned, always use something that you know how to use on other devices if you want it to go onto something else. lol it makes no sense, but i kinda mean, if you want to record yourself doing something, make sure you know how to make your video go onto your phone or a computer. it's always easier to use a phone because i mean, everyone knows how to make a video from your phone go onto a computer. i just learned that because i used a camera (not on my phone) to record myself because i didn't want to use my phone, and because i used my mom's camera, i had to call my aunty all the way in Wahiawa just to help me put the video from the camera onto my phone so that i could edit it.  she was the only one in my family that new how to do that because her husband's a master in electronics.
