TedTalk - Public Speaking Assignment
For this assignment, we were tasked on writing a Ted Talk presentation for about 2-4 minutes long based on various topics to choose from.
I chose the topic creativity and connected on how it is a way of coping for me when it comes to my mental health. With the help of Google Docs, I started writing down how I felt followed by sequencing the experiences in an orderly fashion. At first, I thought of writing this piece and presenting it through singing, but then I remembered that it should imitate the concept of a Ted Talk, which is public speaking. This piece was then presented in class and I made everyone speechless, impacted with what I had written. That time in particular made me feel vulnerable but at the same time it felt satisfied as if a portion of the weight in my shoulder have been taken away.
