Storytelling is important because it is the way that the world is viewed. With every rhythm, infliction, and beat of sounds in the world; people interpret it and view the world through their lense of interpretation. The value of creativity is being able to take control of the storytelling ability that you have, in order to deliver a message of self-expression in whichever medium one wishes. Through the Creative Process, I hope to get more experience in being to help portray the stories of people who wish to tell it, namely through podcasts and interviews.
My most recent project has included being part of the news department at my school radio station. Through this, I was able to choose which news stories to broadcast on the radio station in the morning. Although the news does not sound like the most creative outlet in the world, it has really allowed me to hone in on my storytelling skills, in order to choose and articulate news stories in ways that I wished for them to be delivered. My plans for the future include training to be a DJ at the station, as this allows more creative freedom and taking up an internship in Australia over the summer that focuses on radio broadcasting.
