Desired Dream of Becoming a Journalist

By: Alyson Svec

My most desired dream for the future is to become a successful journalist.  Writing has always been something I enjoy doing. I am able to express myself through words the best. When I first attended college, I felt lost on what I wanted to be when I grew up. I thought Business was in the cards for me, until I realized the right path I should take was within Mass Communication. In my free time, I started my first blog a year ago on Tumblr. I wrote about personal experiences, current events, entertainment, and anything else which caught my interest. I will use this new blog to do the same.

I understand how media has changed during the years. Technology has become more advanced, users are able to access information instantly at any time and place, information can be stored with unlimited space, along with many more possibilities. This change puts a challenge for journalists since print media with newspapers and magazines have now been introduced to the online world today. Journalists need to know how to use computers and certain programs, such as InDesign. Even though we have gone from a simple to advanced state, I believe if I set my mind to it, success is just a few steps away.

Writing is my passion; my future career. Years from now, no matter how much has changed or what happens, I know I will be able to look back and say, "I did what I love to do and this makes me happy." I believe in the power of never giving up on your dreams and staying positive. I may or may not be the best writer, but everyone is unique and has their own opinions. I hope to show off my creativity and see where it takes me in the future.
