Final Blog Reflection

 The idea of the blog at first was very daunting, since I always related a blog to a lot of commitment and consistency. Which is why I never really had a general theme other than the fact that the blog was about me. I was afraid to put my genuine work out there and instead I decided to go with the bare minimum needed. However, I did slowly grow into the blog and felt more comfortable putting myself out there. The week one “aha moment” was a great example of this, as I talked about my experience having cornrows and the reactions I got from my peers as well as the general consensus I got from people around me. Overall, I still kept it general so It can relate to everyone on a personal level. The first time I really talked about a personal subject was when we were making PSA videos. I didn’t really have an idea on food itself, but then I remembered it just had to be related to food. Knowing that, I decided to talk about my country of Somalia and how they are struggling with food. When we were sharing our videos with the class, I found that many people enjoyed the topic I chose and liked how it related to me personally. Which was something I was pleased with since I wasn’t sure if it was going to get positive feedback. This made me want to talk about the subject more, so for our critical analysis, I decided to go further in depth in how it happened, and how we can stop it. For the blog itself, I decided to change up the formatting since I never knew how to do it, and I turned in the few assignments I had forgotten to submit.
