Day 6's challenge asked that we create 3 goals for new things that we'd like to try and discuss them via blogging. Let's see.....
1. Sketchnoting
This has been on my "list of things to do" ever since I returned from ISTE this summer. I just have not yet delved into it. I need to go ahead and order Sylvia Duckworth's book (Sketchnotes for Educators) and just get started! I've spent hours watching YouTube videos about it, but haven't started to implement it, which is surprising to me as I am very much so a visual learner!
2. Start creating YouTube content
This is another goal of mine that's been on my "things to do" list. I spend sooooo much time on YouTube watching all kind of videos from inspirational videos, how to videos, daily vlogs, makeup videos (don't judge), cooking videos, etc...the list goes on and on! I need to go on ahead and begin to add to what's out there! Who knows....maybe the way that I present some content will be better received than someone else out there. Won't know unless I try, right?
3. Create a dynamic, inspirational keynote speech....and deliver it!
This is one thing that I know will get crossed off in the next couple of months and I am UBER excited about it! I have started a list of topics to cover and ideas to speak about in my Google Keep app and have been adding to it like crazy! I've also, no surprise, been watching a ton of YouTube videos about inspiration and how to deliver keynote speeches. I used to work in customer service prior to teaching, was a high school teacher, taught teachers while working in the professional development department, so I've always been a people person. I think it'll be interesting to put together a keynote that I not only create, but deliver as well! Honestly, I don't think I'm any more special than the next person. I put my pants and shoes on one at a time, just like everyone else. I have been told in the past that I have a story to tell, that I'm inspirational and relatable. I receive these compliments when they're given, however I'm just myself. I treat others as I'd want to be treated. With the things that I have been through, especially over the past year, people have asked me how I do it all, and how do I continue to be so positive. Well, I know that I'm blessed. I have a purpose to fulfill while I'm here on earth. Although, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to be when I grow up...lol....I know that it involves helping others and being a positive, glass half full, inspirational, sunshiny person while I'm here. I hope to be able to convey that through my developed keynote soon!
The scary thing about writing about goals, is that you make yourself vulnerable, transparent, and are putting them out there for others to read, maybe judge, and hold you accountable. Not an easy thing to do. I look forward to seeing how I develop and nurture these goals over the next year!
What are your top three goals that you'd like to accomplish?
