Gain experience with writing:

Journalism has given me an opportunity to explore my writing skills more. I was not very confident in my writing for most of my life, but once I took journalism my sophomore year, I was given the ability to write about topics that interested me and that furthered my interest in writing. Journalism gives people an opportunity to explore their strengths and expand on them while also letting you find your weaknesses and work on fixing them.

Be more in touch with your school:

Some students are always aware of what is going on around their school. They know every event that is happening, and they know many other students involved in those activities. Journalism lets you cover the events at your school and gives you the chance to learn about them. You also interview people in the school and learn more about them, and there some very interesting people in this school that should have their amazing stories told.

What to take away with Journalism:

Journalism gives writers the opportunity to learn more about other people and their interests, while writing about something they love. Whether it be Sports, Arts and Entertainment, Features, or Opinions, there is a category in Journalism for everyone. I mostly cover Sports because that is what I am the most passionate about. While doing different articles, I get the chance to interview students so I can learn more about them as an athlete and as a person, and from these interviews, I can gather enough information to talk about their hobbies and interests.

Through journalism, I was able to make new friends and meet different people. At the beginning of the class, I was unfamiliar with the majority of the staff, but as the class has progressed, I have formed a deeper bond with everyone. In our free time, we enjoy talking to each other and learning more about each other. I can’t write this article without mentioning our teacher, Mrs.McGuire. She works so hard to make sure that we have everything we need for our articles to be successful. Through this class, I have gained many valuable friendships!
