Why I Decided To Be A Journalism Major

When I was younger I used to love reading books. I used to read mystery books, kids books, but as I got older I began reading sports biographies and sportsbooks. I used to want to be two things as a kid an author and a lawyer. I was fascinated by sharing my own thoughts, feelings, and opinions with others and expressing myself through writing. writing has always been my strong suit because I love English and my high school and college professors were always complimenting me on my writings.

When I started college my community college did not have a journalism major, so I settled on being a business major since that did appeal to me. After taking my English classes and writing essays, I surprisingly began enjoying writing again Most people hate writing essays, but I would rather write an essay than spend my time working on science or math assignments. I typically did well on essays and enjoyed a variety of topics. One of my high school teachers always loved my papers and he told me he recommended I do something in English for college because he felt I would excel.

Anyone who knows me knows the one thing that I admire more than anything is sports. I watch plenty of football, basketball, and hockey games because that is the best thing on TV. I never watch Netflix like most people my age, because I'd rather watch old sports games or documentaries in my free time. I never stop talking about sports or anything in general because getting to know people and share our thoughts and opinions is the best. Siting live at sports games is an amazing feeling that I have always enjoyed from high school to college to professional, there is plenty of excitement to enjoy.

I have traveled out of the country and to about 11 different states, but being able to see all 50 states and travel the other countries as my job is a dream. I hate traveling by car, but traveling by plane is exciting and quick. I love traveling to new places and I have visited many landmarks and fun places and I hope to experience so much more.

I have taken many psychology classes and it fascinates me to know how people and society work, so being a journalist and having the opportunity to interview them and hear about their story and journey no matter what they do or have done would be amazing. I could write or talk about it and do so much with my degree. I love watching the people that work in sports media and dream to one day be able to enjoy that type of lifestyle.

I feel that the important part of my life is being happy. Journalism is a great career, but it may not make a millionaire and that is not the important thing to me. Yes, I want a family and kids one day, but the important part for me is being happy and doing something I love. I want to travel and have fun amazing experiences with all kinds of different people of all kinds and be apart of their story and share it with people. Life is all about the experience and the uniqueness of each individual. Traveling the world and learning all about people and their hometown would be the best experience I could ever imagine.
