event that happened to you that has helped to shape a personal belief

Firstly, Prepare / deliver a speech on a true story about an event that happened to you that has helped to shape a personal belief.

Secondly, A story has a clear beginning, middle and end. It is about a single event. A story, for example, is NOT an autobiography, a list of places you visited on a summer trip, or experiences you might have had at work.

A story is one particular event in your life, your experience when you visit one place on a summer trip or one event that happen to you at work. For example, a first date, seeing the Grand Canyon, dealing with an irate customer at work, the birth of a child, crashing a bike, getting a tattoo, waiting on a famous person, are all experiences that would work for this assignment.   No outline or visual aid is a requirement for this presentation.

Be specific. Consider the moments when your belief was formed or tested or changed.

Further, Think of an experience and tell us how that particular event shaped your personal belief. Your story need not be heart-warming or gut-wrenching—it can even be funny—but it should be real. Make certain your story ties to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your belief.

Be brief. Make certain you can name your belief. If you can’t name it you might not be talking about a belief. Make certain you are focusing on one belief and not a stream of consciousness.
