《My Channel My Community》
Hours deep into battle with the legendary beast, a highly torqued berserker known as the Crankshaft Pulley Bolt, my arms plead for respite, but my holy spear Rhongomyniad, a polished steel breaker bar, refuses to penetrate the at-minimum 500 foot-pound tetanic aegis that is the scorched coating of rust on the bolt. Sprays of WD-40 seem only to temper the bolt, like the enchanted Sword of Gryffindor growing stronger with exposure to poison. I reach for my spell breaker, a DeWalt impact driver, set to max, I am a warrior, and I do not intend to hold back. Like Excalibur, I wrench the bolt from its threaded asylum.
Extracting my treasure, I turn to the camera and flash a toothy grin. “I'm Aiman, and I just showed you how to remove this stubborn crankshaft pulley bolt! Thanks for watching!" I am no King Arthur- rather, I am starring in a YouTube video, teaching viewers how to service their cars. In other videos, I would show them how to cultivate marvelous gardens, prepare ambrosial traditional Malaysian dishes, or construct formidable wooden edifices. I may not be a hero or legend, but each of my videos feels like an enthralling fable, a pan of a quest for learning that I have been journeying on since before I can remember.
I started my YouTube channel, E******n, when I was in third grade. My dad picked up on my knavish proclivity towards stealing his phone to film random videos of myself, so he helped set up a YouTube channel for me. My first few videos were blurry vlogs, origami tutorials, and Pokémon Trading Card Game guides, and I presented as clumsy, awkward, and aimless. Back then, my channel was just something to mess around with, but over the next few years, E******n became an integral part of my identity.
I cherish E******n as my community's Great Library of Alexandria. In vlogs, we preserve our cultural heritage, immortalize memories of our gatherings, campouts, and parties, and share our Malaysian traditions with others. I will always remember the video where my friends attempted to speak Malay, and we all tried to say, "Aww! Kucing telah mencakar saya!" which meant, “Oww! The cat just scratched me!" My sister and I will always remember the video where we sampled the Malaysian King of Fruits, durian, and had fun agonizing over its terrible taste, and I am grateful for the fact that no matter where my siblings or friends go in life, we can always find our roots through the videos we saved on E******n.
Our Malaysian community has always been there for my family. When my dad lost his job, my parents were stretched thinly, emotionally and financially, to support seven children. My siblings could not afford books for studying, could not attain Up-to-date technology, and could not pursue their passions for music or sports. We could barely afford food and clothing, and we would have lost the house without the generosity of family friends who donated clothes, money, and time to support us. I will never forget their kindness, and I owe it to my community to reciprocate that same kindness to others.
Through E******n, I want to share myself with others: I want to honor my stalwart community, show people my life Experiences, and make those experiences more accessible to others. Nowadays, I use the filmmaking skills I developed through E******n to create videos for the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History to expose younger audiences to science topics ranging from geology to invertebrate paleontology, and in the future, I hope to continue bringing E******n with me wherever I go. I want to continue Helping, educating, and inspiring people, because while we may not be heroes of prophecy slaying Crankshaft Pulley Bolts left and right. everyone has fought their own battles, everyone has conquered their own beasts, and everyone has an important story to tell.
