Still in the research phase, I wonder what findings I will focus on for my movie trailer and TED Talk. I am quite nervous about giving the TED Talk, though I found something interesting that helped calm my nerves, while looking for something to tweet about during class. I came across a TED Talk by a child prodigy Adora Svitak. I have provided the link below for anyone who wants to see it for themselves.
Adora Svitak TED Talk
Regardless of this child being a prodigy, it calms my nerves knowing that someone younger than me can speak in front of a large crowd of people about something that she is passionate about. This left me to wonder "what do I have to be nervous about behind a computer screen?" I would hope that this will help calm other students' nerves regarding this TED Talk assignment too.
My main goal is to establish credibility with my audience. I have attempted to become a vegetarian years ago, though I did not successfully continue my journey. However, now with research and gaining new knowledge about this lifestyle change, I hope my passion for this topic will demonstrate my credibility. I will not claim to know everything there is to know about becoming a vegetarian in a safe and healthy manner, though I will do my best to provide my audience with my findings surrounding the starting point of this journey.
My research thus far is making me aware of all my options for a starting point. For me, I know why I want to become vegetarian, though I know I want to do it in an effective, safe and healthy manner. This is why I began my research for this project topic. Based on research, I am finding multiple solutions on how to receive my daily intake of vitamins and essential nutrients. I feel that with this research, my journey with adapting to this lifestyle will be a successful one this time around because I am more educated on the lifestyle.
My research will not end here though. In the future, I hope to expand my research from safely transitioning into a healthy vegetarian, to living a vegan lifestyle. This lifestyle is much more strict than the vegetarian lifestyle, and therefore, I will need to take baby steps along the way such as becoming vegetarian, followed by cutting out dairy products, and then jumping into becoming vegan from there. My conducted research will help me to get one step closer to my ultimate goal, though I feel like right now, becoming vegetarian rather than vegan works best for me in terms of time and dedication. I look forward to finding out more information and possibly finding out other people's experience with becoming vegetarian or attempting to become vegetarian to see what their story is like in comparison to mine.
