I'm at a crossroads in almost every aspect of my life, and while this is exhilarating and empowering, it also makes me wonder what kind of person I plan to become. The idea of my future self makes me wonder how I'll get there, or if that's the person I really am. What a typical thought process of a 19 year-old college student.
My crossroads has come down to: what type of journalist will I be, what kind of people will I associate with, what kind of opportunities will I pursue, and what kind of person do I want people to see me as. I have so many wild and imaginative ideas, collaborated from those who inspire me, those who I dislike, and those who I see myself in. I just need to decide what to grab hold of and run with.
Enough about me and my young adulthood woes, this blog is a jumping off point. What I find important and enjoyable to write about will naturally surface throughout the course of this blog. This is my initiation as a future journalist, and may help guide me, and my potential reader base, to what I am capable of conveying through writing.
I find that as a journalist, we need to do something more than report the news, we need to be the ones that find what's hidden under the surface, question our readers and followers and provide them with information to help better their lives in any way possible. Whatever type of blog this becomes, I aspire to spark inspiration into all of my readers... just as I hope this will do the same for me!
