Sooooo Yoooooos…
Hmmmm, journalism skills? Basically, I was able to gain my first journalistic experience in sixth grade at Parkmont Elementary as a staff reporter. Although the articles we wrote were pretty short, I was still able to get my first taste of the wonderful world of journalism. Other than that, my journalism experiences have been basically limited to what I have completed in Honors English in Junior High/High School . Last year, our New Journalism article was my favorite assignment in Honors English. I enjoyed the observations and interviews necessary to the creation of the paper. Outside of writing experience, I greatly enjoy reading newspapers and other literary sources for information. It is my hope that I will be able to improve my writing skills even more and will be able to affect my fellow classmates here at Washington through my words. I really don’t have any fears for this class- I am a hardworking person who is definitely not deterred by hard or challenging work. From this class, I want to gain more journalistic experience and gain new perspectives on issues. Also, I am looking forward to making new friendships and strengthening existing ones through the camaraderie of the paper. All in all, I want to have an enjoyable, memorable and informative experience being a staff member of The Hatchet. So yeahhhh….
BRING IT ON!
