Journalism has made me who I am. It was not the path I imagined taking, but being put in this pathway made me realize that I can rekindle the creativity that I've always had as a child, and mix it with story-telling to accomplish great things. Journalism has taught me what it means to be a leader, team player, effective communicator, collaborator, problem-solver, and hard worker. This pathway has given me the real world experience to push me out of my comfort zone, to blossom into a well-rounded, skilled individual.
