For over a year now, I've had the opportunity to write articles on any topics I was passionate about, including anime, music and positivity. I'm so grateful that the Odyssey came to Wingate during my senior year. It presented me with an opportunity to flex my writing muscles every week and to learn a new style of writing. But unfortunately, like with everything else in life, my season of writing on this platform has come to an end. Before I go, though, I just wanted to say thank you, Odyssey.
Thank you for giving milennials like me a voice. Thank you for creating this platform that we can use to share our thoughts and beliefs with those willing to click the link. Thanks for the incentives and for not limiting our topic choices. Thanks for the countless hours you put in to make sure this platform remains relevant and engaging. And thank you for not closing up shop anytime soon.
I've learned a lot about blogging and creating interesting content by writing on here. It's come in handy when writing articles for my personal blog. However, it's also taught me that relevant, not necessarily personal, topics gain more views.
In spite of that, though, I've learned to both capitalize on that while staying true to myself. I've discovered that you can take satisfaction in just writing the article itself. Page views and number of shares don't define your worth or skill as an article writer. That's the beauty of getting to write about whatever you want. It highlights the fact that your thoughts and feelings matter and that as long as you're sharing them, there will be someone willing to listen (or read them, in this case).
To other Odyssey writers, I wish you all the best. Keeping putting out great content and look for ways to make your next article even better than the last one.
To everyone who's read my articles week after week: thank you so much. It means so much to me that you enjoy my work and support my content through likes and shares.
And to the Odyssey, please never shut down this platform. It means a lot to us writers. Thanks again for the opportunity.
