Stories can change the world

The Power Of Storytelling

I love words, I’ve always had.

I think that if you use them wisely, they can be very powerful; words can educate, change minds, and sometimes they can even change the world.

I believe the main reason why I love words is because I like to speak out for those who can’t. I am a writer and an animal lover, so I help animals through the stories I tell. I tell stories that inspire others to be better human beings by encouraging them to care and save the lives of those beautiful creatures that live among us.

I started narrating my experiences with different animals through social media, and many were fascinated and inspired by the stories I had to tell and soon started caring about the lives of the beautiful creatures that surround us. That was when I understood the power of storytelling

Yeah, stories can change the world, even if it is just one creature's world.

I have always been a sensitive person, expressing my feelings and being way “too honest” is what characterizes me the most. As I grew up, saying how I felt out loud started to be seen as negative by some, so I started to keep the words to myself and that is how my interest in writing grew.

I come from a place that lives a political disaster, poverty and danger abounds in the streets of my home. As the news channels got banned and the truth got censored by corruption, it was us the civilians that had the duty to let the world know. Stories became a place of refuge for many, including me.

After graduating from high school, I left my home and family looking for a better future, and took all my stories with me. I have more stories than I have years of life. With my stories I remember my family, my pets, my friends, and the harsh realities that currently sit on another country I used to call home. All I had to leave behind in order to create new stories.

I came to a place where I learned how to tell and share my stories. When I started my Media and Communications program at Full Sail University, I learned to separate stories from words. I learned that you can create stories in many different ways I never thought possible, with and without words, through videos, photography, art, content, design, and so on…

I learned that there is a million right ways to tell a story. and that stories are as powerful as the person who tells them.

The beginning of every journey is the start of a new story...

So, what is your story?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
