Change
About a month ago when we started working on our scripts, I realized that a subject that i was trying to avoid was really what I was passionate about. I wanted to do something dealing with grief, in particular the loss of a loved one. As I sat down and thought of how hard it was for me to deal with my grandfathers' death, starting a support group came to mind at the school. When someone you love dies it can be hard to cope with the death, but with guidance and comfort one can learn to cope with the loss. I have recently been reading On Death and Dying by Elizabeth Kubler Ross, the book has the five stages of death which go into depth. I am currently researching psychologist in the field of grief to speak to them and ask them a couple of questions, and if they have any advice for me in starting a support group at my school.

Your TED TALK was very strong and impacting! At first when you were reading from your paper it seemed like you were hiding, but when you put it down and came out with what you needed to say it became the TED TALK that people needed to hear.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you not to hide your feelings throughout the project. I think that if you put out what you really feel and think it will make it more impacting and make the other students feel like they can open up too.
Good luck to you!
