10/31 second try on topic

To narrow down the topic, I want to focus more on the influence I got from my current classmates.
Since I entered high school and got in the same class with them, I've really changed a lot.
I want to share three main stories that have caused great change on me.
Maybe I can talk about the old me for a little and what kind of personality I had to point out how much I've changed...

The three themes I want to talk about (not set yet)
1. I wasn't someone who could say out loud what I really liked and wanted, but because the girls in our class are free to share everything, so I began to open up my heart to them.

2.I couldn't trust people and believe that someone would really pour out his or her heart to one another, but the girls in our class gave out everything for this class and let me see the unbreakable love we have for each other.

3.I wasn't someone who was devoted to activities in class or any kind of group work, but the girls in our class fight hard to be the best for everything. They taught me to reach and hold on to success when I have the chance.

Since I'm talking about our class, and every one of them are beside me now, I really hope my classmates can get involved in my eight minute presentation.

10/29/2013 topic

Main Idea: 
I have lived for more than 16 years on this world already. In this project, I want to explore myself, and find out what built my personality.

Why I want to do this: 
When we started to work on this topic, Miss You asked us to decide our topic based on our own interests. I thought about it for nearly three months and can't even come up with something. After discussing with Miss You, I found out the reason was because I don't even know what my interests are or what I like.  Rather than working on topics that I'm not really in to, I would like to spend this precious time on understanding myself. 

My little outline:
The people that influenced me in my life-
 my family, my kindergarten teachers, my classmates and teachers from elementary school to high school

The environment I have been through- 
my family education, my schools, cram schools, and the badminton team I've been in.

The things(stories) that influenced me-
in badminton team, third to sixth grades, prepare for the B.C. test and now. 

How I want to do it:
I would want to act a little play on stage to present every stage of my life. I think by this way, it would be more interesting because all I'm doing is telling a story. In my opinion, the best way to tell a story is to act it out.

My concerns:
My theme is nearly all about myself, I don't know if the audience would be interested in my own story and listen to it for 10 minutes.
The second concern is, if I want to act a play, will it be too complicated and hard to prepare?
