First Blog Post
What sup everyone! My name is Gabby Shen and I am currently a Junior at UH Manoa. Oahu is my home and had the opportunity to go away, but to save you from a tear jerking, really long, 'when is she gonna get to the point' story..I ended up staying here! And I am so thankful that those events in my life played out the way they did, because I wouldn't have found my talents, amazing friends, or even have amazing adventures.
I am here because I am majoring in Communications and I have many ideas with what I want to do with that and here are some things.. Well for starters I hope to one day to work with a non-profit organization either being the social media manager or be apart of the marketing team. I have been using social media since I was in the 9th-10th grade I believe. I made a Instagram and Snapchat and eventually got twitter and Facebook as of last year for a class.
I always try to be intentional with my post to well share my love and hobby of photography but not only that to show my amazing adventures with family and friends. My honest goal of my photos is that they spark inspiration, creativity, and turn the "one day's" into the "why not now?" I use to be very shy and missed a lot of opportunities in life due to just being scared and letting fear run my life until the 11th grade when I really turned everything around and long story short became pretty social and ended up giving my graduation speech (not for my grades, but I was in student government).
Anyways point of that story is that well I believe its because of that and I developed a genuine love and interest in people I apply that to my social medias. It may feel pointless at times but people are listening and I have had a few times where people comment that was a beautiful picture while mention the message I typed in the caption. Others have told me, "I look at your pictures and they make me just feel really happy." Or "That was really inspiring and uplifting and I needed that today."
I haven't had a solid story that changed someones life but I do get feedback of peoples thoughts and feelings on my post. But I very much like my social media's to represent me and my work. I like/ hope to make people feel that they are important and everyone is unique and everyone deserves to be heard. I just wanna start by inspiring others to not just sit there but to go out and do, and I think I am on the right path. Also, here are some pictures to put a face behind these words on a screen. Thanks for your time getting to know me!

Aloha Gabby,
ReplyDeletePlease break your content up into paragraphs. It's really hard to read. Also another student is using this theme. You may want to chose a brighter color theme to attract people you want to attract.
If you want to inspire others, start by inspiring yourself. How can you do that in this course?
