I've always found writing enjoyable. Writing was always my favorite class, where I was able to let out more of myself into my papers. I came into Journalism excited to learn a different form of writing. However, I also thought I would catch on quickly because writing stories seemed to come easy. That wasn't the case for me this semester, I struggled to pick up and grasp the journalism concept. I have found I am a very opinionated individual, and I find interest in expressing my emotions through text.
I did enjoy the class, because it was something different and really made my appreciate Journalists patients. Relying on others to get go information in interviews, and following up in a timely manner without "annoying" them. This semester was a challenge, but really opened my eyes to what it takes to be a journalist. I found stories posted by other Journalism students to be inspiring, learned alot from just reading other stories by classmates.
The good news is that you can just be a blogger (like Perez Hilton). Or just write opinion columns.
ReplyDeleteJamie is right! I hope all of you keep your blogs going -- or start a new one with a different name. Keep writing!
