My interest in English and Writing throughout my education has led me to apply for a Higher Education course in these areas. These are my strongest subjects and the ones in which I feel most capable. My interest in English, in particular, has always been exciting for me. The thought of just correcting a word or sentence has always been fun for me. And when I’m talking about writing, that is definitely my cup of tea, and that’s why I have chosen Print Journalism as my major.
But I must admit I didn’t always start off with this major. I began with Computer Science because I felt like I was good with computers and I wanted a career in it. But that wasn’t the only reason I wanted to major in that. I also majored in Computer Science because I was thinking about the money that I could get from the career, not thinking that it wasn’t anything I wanted to do in the first place.
I’ve been dealing with computers all my life and I’ve even fixed a couple in my day but I have also written for school newspapers at my high school. I have volunteered to work with the local newspaper that’s in the town where I’m from called, "The Daily News"
Now, that I have found the right path, it’s time for me to do what I love to do best and that is “write”. This upcoming semester will make the 5th semester that I have started my new journey to what I love to do. I am very excited!
This summer, I would love to get an internship working with a newspaper company or a magazine corporation. After I get my Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications with a concentration in Print Journalism, my dream would be to start working with a newspaper, an online publishing or a big magazine like,Ebony and Jet or Essence one day.
