This week in AP Lit was focused on stories. We finished our This I Believe videos and shared them with the other people enrolled in this class. The sharing of the videos was really interesting and intimate. I learned so much from my classmates just from these three to four minute videos. In these small stories, a raw belief was exposed and defended, and I really enjoyed seeing people's beliefs and hearing why and how they came to this belief. The belief that I shared was my belief in people. How I came to my belief happened through a loss of a loved one, and while sharing this, I felt really exposed. I felt like my belief came from a really personal experience, and sharing this experience really took some courage. Not many people know that I have a little brother, and sharing how I lost him was difficult to say the least. But, I am sort of glad that we did this project. Every time that I share what happened, it hurts a little less. Maybe everytime that I share, the permanency of what happened is reinstated. Sharing personal things is hard to do, and it always will be.
