How to become a journalist
It made me
 "fulfilling a life long dream"
How I did it: I dreamed of it since being 12. Then I went to an engineering school and had to give up the dream for various reasons. Then I moved to the US and managed to get a reporter job as an internship when I was in grad school. The beginning was very humble due to my broken rusty English and lack of industry knowledge. However, I worked hard, and got amazing experience (3 years.) I also ended up taking a position in the industry that I covered as a reporter.

How I did it: Through bloody hard work, sheer determination, and by doing a lot of shit jobs and free work!I've wanted to be a journalist since I was 15 years old and did a lot of freelance stuff for my local paper, magazines, college newsletter, and internships at my local paper, the Times, the BBC, and anonline media company. The sooner you know where you want to go the sooner you get there!At 20 years old I beat 2,632 other applicants to become a BB… Read how I did it…

How I did it: First, I applied for a part time job at a local radio station while I was in college, got it, and worked the horrible shifts (weekends and holidays). I then applied for a full time news reporter job at a radio station across the country (you know, for fun)... and got it!I decided to accept the job, packed one suitcase and headed 4500 kms away from home.I'm loving every minute of it!Basically, I graduated early from college because I… Read how I did it…
Write now I’m interning at NPR affiliate WNIJ in DeKalb. I’m getting quite a lot out of it and I think it can help expand my portfolio. I thought newspapers where the way to go but this so much better. They have a fellowship for this as well I want to apply for it as well.

Thanks again to social anxiety.
i’ve taken like ten career tests and they all say the same thing. and i read a little bit about this “journalism” and it turns out, I FREAKING LOVE IT.

Considering my social ‘disability’ I wasn’t sure I was cut out for the big, mean and nasty world of journalism- but I’m not giving up just yet.
Last term (at uni) I wrote up an interview in about 55 minutes (I am so massively unorganised) and still managed to achieve a 2:1 (A sort of grade B, I guess) and lots of positive praise from my tutor. So I must be able to write, right?
I will persevere.
It is my biggest goal to become a journalist. In fact I am in college right now trying to obtain my degree in Mass Communication. I love to write and I love to research and learn new things. Writing has always been my strong point. Now I just need the motivation to continue with my schooling.
My confidence has been down since my best friend died. I haven’t wrote any poems or stories since that night. I finally started working on some new song lyrics for friend. I love to take pictures. and I love writing. Ive always been told i should be a writer or journalist. It looks like its a challenge but im going to strive to be the best and work on it until I can become the best. You got to love what you do in order to be good at it. :)
I am currently Editor-in-chief of my high school’s newspaper, and I am applying to colleges as a Journalism major. I’m also feeling more and more confident in my writing. Yeah!
It’s exciting seeing a very long term goal of mine falling into place. I still have a long way to go, but hey, this isn’t just a small goal like “dance more”- this is my future.
