Ever since I made my Facebook account, I have seen articles for Odyssey almost daily. I always loved reading the articles and seeing the creativity of all of the writers. I was always curious as to how one joins Odyssey. I was lucky this year at school because one of my friends encouraged me to join because she needed more people on the Regis College Odyssey. At first, I was a little wary, but I decided to give it a try and see what happens.
I enjoy Odyssey because I can write about anything. The Odyssey is a place where I can let my voice be heard and write anything that I want. It gives me the ability to express myself and share my opinions about things. One of Odyssey's main goals o is to allow people's voices to be heard. This gives me a voice that I wouldn't necessarily have without Odyssey.
Odyssey makes me more responsible as a person. Articles are due every Saturday at noon. This helps me plan out my week accordingly because I know that I must make a specific time each week to write my articles. I am kept busy because I constantly have to think about new ideas for my articles each week. Not only does it help me plan specifically for the time when I will write my next article but it also helps me plan out my week so I can have time to do my other homework as well.
The Odyssey helps me improve my writing skills. When I write articles they go through an editing process. Each time one of my articles is edited, I learn from my prior mistakes so that I will not make them again. I think that writing articles is fun. Writing my articles each week is something that I look forward to because they are really fun to create. I really like brainstorming ideas as well. I also enjoy hearing what my friends, family, and strangers have to say about my writing. Improving my writing each week is another reason why I really enjoy writing for Odyssey.
Odyssey is something that is time-consuming but I highly recommend it to others who also have a passion for writing.
