Kareem, Max, Jade, Rymir, Sydni's Self Expression Videos

We learned that there are people different from us in the world and, we should not judge them based on their appearance, thoughts, feelings, and the way that they choose to express themselves. Our video represents our community’s open-mindedness by having interviews that asked people in our community questions about acceptance, and feeling accepted in our community. Open-mindedness is being accepting of other people, thoughts, and feelings. You don’t hold bias against anyone without a legitimate reason.

We must accept others for who they are and what they believe or do. We must accept that this is the world we live in with many different people who may not share the same as us. My video shows who I am and what I find what’s significant to me and what I appreciate as a person.  

That’s what I felt comfortable with to share with everyone. That was the first step of removing the “mask."

My video was a bunch of photos that I have taken, and most were posted on a social network. The whole idea behind my video is that we express ourselves through social media. I learned about that in class, and by doing this project and looking at what I post on social media such as Twitter or Facebook, I have learned that it is indeed true.

I am really fond of my hats, so that is what my video is mostly about. I do have some of my other favorite things in it as well, but most of my video was about me and my hats. Some of my favorite things were also in the video such as my favorite college, sneakers, foods, and sports players.

For my video this showed people and things that helped mold me as a person. Things I would say were music and family. This showed my views on those topics about the person I am now and who I want to be. I learned that I’m a unique person in this world and is just trying to find my way in life.
