So recently, each person in my class was asked to make a video explaining what Canada means to them. These videos would then be entered in a competition featuring similar videos, as part of a celebration of Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday.

Here’s the video I created:

I had some difficulty figuring out what I wanted to say in my video, because while I love Canada, it’s not something I spend a lot of time putting into words. Canada to me is, as I said in the video, home, and I mean that as sort of a feeling; that sense of looking around you and knowing that you are lucky and safe and happy and that you are somewhere that you belong.

After having difficulties trying to script a video, I took a bunch of drafts, which were all me rambling, and all pretty terrible, but from them I was able to put together an idea of what I wanted to say: Canada is a place of safety, my home, and a place with new experiences yet to be discovered. While I think my video could have been better, I think I got my point across fairly clearly.

Toodles.
