Personal Narrative

 The past two years have been very exciting for me in the field of journalism. After moving to Oxford Mississippi in the 9th grade, I found myself wanting to meet new people and try new things. I had always been a dancer and was a cheerleader at my previous school. However, I was ready to explore something new, so I took a leap of faith and started to pursue journalism. I have always enjoyed writing and taking pictures with my dad’s “big” camera and felt like this was a good match for me as a new student at Oxford High School. I became a part of the Charger newspaper and The Charger Media group. I taught myself a lot about writing articles, and found myself on the sidelines of the football games capturing action shots, something I had no clue I could do. During my sophomore year, I was named the Assistant Director of the Charger Update, a weekly broadcast at the high school, as well as the Assistant Director of Charger Media group. These are all roles that I have truly enjoyed and Journalism has become a major part of my high school memories.
