This presentation is a recap of 10 great moments and memories during the last 21 years of my life. I chose these specific times because they all had a big impact on my life and are things I was excited to share. I had a lot of fun working on this project, but it was also stressful. Because I am away at school with no pictures from my childhood, I had to call my family members and ask them to help me with this assignment. The only picture I had myself is the very first photo in the timeline when I was a baby. Every other photo in the presentation was given to me by my mom. I had to call her over and over again because she had kept taking the picture s on her phone the incorrect way and even she was getting frustrated. I also had to rely on my brother to get my trophies down from my closet and take a video of them. Everyone involved was annoyed to say the least.
I’d say the best part about this assignment is the fact that I got to share parts of myself and my life that not many people know. I am usually a very private person and I have more associates than people I consider actual friends. This allowed other people to get a small chance to know a little bit more about me even if it was just for a couple of minutes. At first, I was not happy at all about this project because I hate when professors make us talk about ourselves. It felt like one of those things where we go around the room on the first day of class and give interesting facts about ourselves. However, it was not. It turns out creating an interactive timeline is not too bad and I feel it will actually make people want to dive into it. It’s more appealing than writing a boring essay about your life or standing in front of the class and giving a power-point presentation about who you are. It forced me to think long and hard about pieces of my life I thought would be cool to share which also had importance to me.
I’m excited to be able to share this presentation with recruiters when they ask about who I am and to make more of these timelines, impressing my future employers.
