As I write this reflection of my time writing for Odyssey since October of last year (six months, I consider it to be be pretty positive. Yes, there has been moments where I was frustrated by the process, or the titles of my works being changed completely. I wrote a total of twenty-two articles for Odyssey and I am really proud of all of them, whether they only had five views or a whopping one hundred and thirty-seven views, they were well-crafted articles.

I gained more confidence with my writing, and appreciate the love I have received from even my liberal opinion articles. The reason I am choosing to part ways with this writing outlet is that I have been overwhelmed writing every week and producing well-written articles and that my goals of writing is no longer aligning with my team and Odyssey.

I would recommend joining Odyssey if you are committed to writing weekly or biweekly and have a commitment to sharing your articles on every source possible with an effort to gain social media engagements. And certainly this is not a bad thing, it just began to not work with my crazy senior schedule. I want to thank my parents, and my family and friends who supported my articles. I also would like to thank my team members at the Changemakers of East Coast for the support, and hope that everyone can respect my decision to resign, and wish the best to this writing outlet and all of it’s team members!
