Welcome To My World

The highlight of my life so far

Hello and welcome. The name's Stephanie. I am a Communication student. This week we had our first Media Appreciation class. I was enthusiastic about it because I always appreciated media. Movies and music to me, is an escape from reality. So, what is media literacy? to me it means to be able to think outside of the box. It also teaches us to appreciate and understand media more. Basically, without media, our world would just be a boring place. Being media literate helps us understand the media out there. We can also differentiate between what's emotional to us and the real story. As it was an introduction class, I decided it would be only appropriate if I introduced myself. Growing up, I always moved around Malaysia due to my father's job. I finally settled down in Taiping, Perak, my food heaven. I loved it there. I moved again when I was 11 to Johor. I started high school there. It was an interesting experience because it was a small town that has good seafood. I have a passion for music. I learned guitar and drums by myself when I was 13. I also enjoy dancing. It's a way of expression for me. I tell my stories through dance. I used to compete at a national level but nowadays I help choreograph dance pieces for my friends who compete. Another way I express myself is through song writing. I started writing since I was 13. I love rocking out at concerts too. I've been to plenty and I've met a few celebrities. The moment I will cherish forever was when I met my all time favourite band, All Time Low last year. It was truly a perfect moment when I got hugged by the person I admire the most, Alex Gaskarth. Another one more thing I love to do is travel. I love going to different place and admiring the architecture and scenery. Many people hate long flights but I like it. It's the only time I get to catch up on all the movies I missed! My favourite place that I have visited is Istanbul, Turkey. I've been dying to go back there ever since I left. Being a photography freak, Istanbul was like heaven to me. My camera was never turned off as I kept on taking pictures of every beautiful thing I laid my eyes on. Well, I shall try to keep this short and simple. That was a little introduction bout myself. I hope I did not bore anyone!
