This week I was thrilled to explore my passion for writing in way more depth.
I had never attempted a journalistic style of writing, and was used to writing essays and short stories. I feel like when you are passionate about something, it is important to explore all aspects of it.
I'm also very interested in all of the social, political, and environmental problems occurring around us, and I felt as though journalism spends a lot of time exploring those issues. The journalism profession appealed to me because of the extensive writing opportunities, as well as being able to immerse yourself in issues that are of interest to you. So far this week, I have not been disappointed. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time, and I have realized how many opportunities there are in this field to learn about whatever you want.
The other reporters, editors and I have been working tirelessly on our stories, peer bios, and profiles. We are all working on stories that really interest us, and stories that deal with intense topics. We hold each other accountable, but we also hold ourselves accountable. Now that we have established roles within the newspaper, working together is much easier, and we have realized how much of a team effort this really is.
I am so excited to watch everyone's stories progress, and turn into something great! It will be a huge challenge, but I think we are all up for it.
