Storytelling 

 Challenge and Selection       Storytelling is one of the tools that I am more comfortable using . As 

 a person who was born in Venezuela , I have lived majority of my life   seeing a country go from one of the richest , to one of the most violent ,   poorest , and worst places to live in the world . During years that had   multiple civil unrests , war and misery in my country , almost every college   student , including myself , became some sort of social advocate . The ones   that were lucky enough like myself had to find ways to help those in need ,   as well as utilize storytelling , empathy , among other tools to try to strive   for change . Once if moved to United States , I became part of several   Venezuelan support groups whose job was to create awareness of the   situation as well as find donations for resources to send back home to the   people in need . Storytelling became one of the things we used to do every   day and the reason I selected this tool .      Application       Storytelling basically covered almost all the job that we tried to do 

 raising awareness and trying to find funds , but the one time it was most   significant was during a Speech class in college after I transferred schools   to the United States . We had to do a big presentation for our final grade   on any topic we wanted , and of course I chose Venezuela as an attempt to   raise awareness . One of the first things to realize about storytelling is that   people need to be aware of the context and the facts surrounding your   story , so me giving a story about a different country would n’t resonate   greatly with my audience . Half of my presentation was basically facts ,   some students did not know we were in the same continent , or same   hemisphere , background , the downfall of the country , everything that   could help them understand the situation . For the rest of the presentation   was trying to teach a group of students how something like this was   actually happening few hours away from their country and they were not   even aware . I would try to explain the situation while also trying to make 

 the audience relate with my experience and the experience of others .   Explaining things such as how I could go from trying to survive every   day , to a normal life in a different country , how people in the top 10 % in   Venezuela make less than minimum wage in the USA due to devaluation   in our currency . Trying to relate their struggles , which are real struggles ,   with the difficulties other people like them were having with a much more   difficult and undesired context and opportunity .     Insight and Approach       Some of the most valuable insight that I learned was how unaware 

 people are of the realities that other people live in other countries . How   telling a story sounds almost like fiction to some people or how hard to   relate it is for someone who simply does n’t really know that these   problems exist . Another thing that I realized is also the fact that someone ’s   misery is not bigger than someone else even if you could objectively rank   one as worse than the other , to each person their biggest misery or   difficulty feels just as hard as someone else ’s biggest misery . With this   insight it helped me understand why it is hard to make people relate   sometimes . Telling people , they are lucky or spoiled living in a country   with opportunity , does n’t make them be able to relate better to someone   else ’s misery ; however , telling my story , my personal experiences , other   people experiences and explaining the situation with the right storytelling   will raise awareness and people will relate to you . In the end most of my   class mates asked for information to either learn , help , support or send   donations , so my storytelling was successful and we were able to help   people in need . As far as approach , I would approach it the same way with   storytelling as the main tool since it is the most effective ; however , I   would learn from experience and mistakes in previous instances of   storytelling . Finding better ways for the audience to relate , being more   understanding of their own problems before expecting them to care about   my own or other people problems . In the future and as time goes by , I   believe I am more prepared every time to use storytelling as a tool ,   whether it is for raising awareness , or for other professional situations .
