Writing for Odyssey was something I hadn't thought too much about. I mean, I always read the articles when friends shared them on Facebook if I could relate or if the title sparked some interest, but I didn't know much about it. You know, the articles with catchy titles you see on your Facebook timeline that you just can't scroll past.

"Odyssey democratizes the way stories are told online. We believe multiple perspectives, opinions, and ideas should be captured and heard, shared, and amplified on a worldwide scale. Respected leaders, social influencers and hyperlocal voices should request an invite to join the platform. Request an invite here."

After getting a call about joining Odyssey at my school, I started to consider the idea. I was hesitant at first, but also excited to experience something new and exciting! I’ve never thought of myself as an amazing writer or anything like that, but I want to share my ideas with others. Writing for Odyssey allows me to express myself and to tell my ideas and opinions to many different people. My voice can be heard and I can share anything that's on my mind. I know my opinions won't always match up with yours, but I hope my articles can inspire people and encourage others.

If you have ideas, stories, and opinions that you can share with others, you should join Odyssey too. Even if you aren't a huge fan of writing, you can still enjoy writing for Odyssey! As a writer for Odyssey, I hope you find my stories relatable, entertaining, and maybe even inspiring at times. I hope you can learn something from me and if you write for Odyssey, I want to learn from you, too!
