As a medical student, I am on a constant and desperate search for ways to fund my absurdly expensive education. I started applying for every single scholarship that I am potentially eligible for.
One scholarship opportunity, offered by Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods, involved making a 3-minute video of a speech on a grain or seed from their product line and posting it onto youtube.com. Then it’s judged and voted on.
I had absolutely no experience making videos of any kind and I had no idea how to make a 3-minute speech on a seed even remotely entertaining, so I decided to approach it in the same way that I approach my James Is Trying blog stories. And I had tons of help and inspiration from my girlfriend.
Here’s the finished product. My very first attempt at video production. My hope is that it’s a little inspirational and maybe teaches you something, but at the very least, it is an opportunity to see me hula hoop in tiny short-shorts.
Perfection 🙂

Awesome. How’s life in Portland? I just visited for a week and loved it.

Thanks! It can definitely be a bit rainy for my taste out here, but it’s a pretty great city.

That’s cool…some friends were telling me that it’s been drier recently than in former years. Have you seen that?

I’m still pretty new to Portland, so I don’t have much to compare it to. Are you telling me that it’s usually even rainier?!?!

Gotcha, idk for sure, but I got the impression from them that climate change has dried things out a little bit….
