My Start To Journalism

I knew I wanted to be a journalist when I opened the first issue of my high school newspaper during my junior year and saw my name in the by-lines, just above the story I had completed the week before. It's a great feeling seeing something that you've created, something that you wrote, displayed in a public newspaper for all to see. It really gives you a sense of accomplishment, knowing that something you wrote is good enough to relay information to others.
Ever since then, I have worked hard to get the necessary experience to realize my dream. I now write for TNH, the Universities only student-produced newspaper, as the sports editor. I love going into the office twice or three times a week to either write, edit, learn a new program, or just talk to the other staff members. We've become a family at TNH, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
