For “This is I believe" assignment, I chose to write about my journey in losing weight, which is a story that I am incredibly proud of. Over several months, I committed myself to a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. It wasn't always easy, but through hard work and insistance, I was able to lose  several pounds and improve my  health and well-being. Before my weight loss journey, I suffered from bullying from some of my friends due to my appearance. However, since losing weight and becoming healthier, I no longer experience with this type of negativity and feel more confident in myself. In addition, after finishing my journey, I feel pride and freedom, and I hope to inspire others to make positive changes in their own lives.

"My Weight loss journey"

For interview the interviewer assignment, I made a podcast interview with AUC student Karim Hassan regarding the challenges that AUC students face during the declaration process. We discussed the difficulties students encounter when deciding on a major, such as lack of guidance, and how this can lead to stress and anxiety. Through our conversation, we highlighted the need for more support and resources for students during the declaration period . Karim also shared his experience with the declaration system at AUC to show how students suffer from this process. During the podcast we provided some solutions such as the need for more academic advisors and resources.  After completing the assignment, I feel more connected to my AUC students and more invested in the issues that affect us all. Finally,  I feel proud to have had the opportunity to share this important conversation with others.

"Declaration stress at AUC"

This assignment was exciting because it allowed me to make new friendships with my
colleagues. In addition, this assignment helped me not to be shy as I wanted to know more about
the students and what they would do when they felt scared. The only thing that I found difficult
in this assignment was that a few people refused to do the podcast with me, which made me feel
annoyed and disappointed.

" If you feel scared, what will you do"

I created a short episode that was only one page in length. Despite its brevity, the episode was packed with action and suspense, and I utilized sound effects and music to enhance the listening. While the episode was short, it was designed to be a self-contained story that left the listener, eager to hear more. Overall, I found the experience of creating the audio drama to be both challenging and rewarding, and I look forward to exploring this audio  further in the future.

"Conversation between a king and a guard"

In my podcast demo, I choose the topic of mental health and well-being for AUC students. Through interviews with students, and mental health experts, I can find unique challenges that AUC students face when it comes to mental health, such as academic pressure, and social isolation. I provide practical tips and strategies for managing stress and anxiety through the professionals that I will make an interview with them. The podcast aims to encourage open conversations about mental health, and promote a self-care and well-being within the AUC community. Overall, I hope to provide a valuable resource for students to support their mental health during their exams time at AUC.
