Lately I've been struggling on what to write about. I've been so busy with my normal daily life that I haven't gotten the chance to adventure. Traveling is my favorite thing to write about so how am I supposed to do that without being able to physically travel?

I continue to tell myself to have an open mind because any good journalist can take a story from scratch and make it into something great. The advantage of being a journalist is that I have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of topics. I can put my input into anything I decide to. I get to spread my own word and let the world know how I feel.

I enjoy hearing about people's lives. What is your background? How did you get where you are? What are you going to do in the future? Every single person is unique in their own way. You will come in contact with people that you never believed you would before. As a journalist, it is my job to take everyone and everything around me and make articles out of it. The beauty of writing is that sometimes you don't know just how insightful something is until you are half way done with your piece of work and realize how much in depth you just went into it.

Every event I attend and every life lesson learned, turns into a story. I can't count the amount of times I've pulled out my phone notes and started typing away about an event I'm supposed to be having fun at. People say to live in the moment and tell me to get off my phone, but I can always relive the moment through my words.

I get the chance to write about things I would normally never converse about. It is my job to write about controversial and uncomfortable subjects. I get to say whatever I want and exercise the right to do that.

I want to bring out people's emotions. I have the chance to make somebody's day, make them laugh, make them cry, or just try to change their perspective on a subject.

I've always enjoyed helping others and there's still a way for me to do that with being a journalist. Instead of gossiping or keeping things to myself, my problems can turn into stories. These can help benefit others in the same situation as well.

Journalism has to do with networking and making a name for yourself. It is a competitive industry, which intrigues me more. Be friendly, meet new people, and branch out of your comfort zone.
