The Writer

A journalist on her journey
 



“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucius

And so I did. I finished a bachelor’s degree in journalism and write my way through life. I always have the passion for writing mainly because through words I am able to express my thoughts and understand things around me.

Writing for me is not just about having a professional stint, it is also a part of who I am, it gives me the capacity to reach out to people.

Years of J school made a huge difference in my life. I have always dreamed of completing a degree in journalism, I always tell myself that it is never too late to achieve my dreams, so I worked hard for it; and still working hard for it.

There are various methods to write a piece and it depends on the subject and the audience. There is so much to learn in writing, writing is like life, it unfolds information through pages and time.

I always believe that writing can make a huge difference in the world through news and stories. I have high respect for journalists who dedicate themselves delivering worthy news and information to people and through writers who share unforgettable stories that may have change one’s life.

I am always thankful for the gift of writing, for it gives more meaning to my life; and through words, I will make a difference.
