Being a Journalist


I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to writing but it feels best when it comes strait from the heart. I hate to copy facts because it feels like it's not me but it's part of the game. I am good at giving and getting information. I love to see my work inspire people. I did not realize I could write really well until my English teacher in high school asked my mother to come in to talk about my work. I really thought I was in trouble but I could not figure out why. She told my mother that I had unbelievable skills and that I was more advanced in writing than all the students in my class. It's sad that my mother had too much going on in her life to help me advance my writing skills. I guess the middle child gets overlooked automatically. As the years went on I stopped writing as much. When I got to college I picked back up on my writing because it was the only thing that calmed me when I was stressed or excited. I'm not much of a talker but I sure can write. Sometimes a little bit too much. I love to write feature stories because it helps me get to know people individually. When I was interning with Exposed Expressions I did various sales pitches and feature articles for up and coming artist. That was so fun because I got to be creative. If anyone ever has a story or wants to share their story let me know.

  1. I liked how you shared your thoughts about being a writer. It's is very very scary being a writer. You hope for admiration but you will always get rejection. And it's not your fault.
