"Live, laugh, love, and dream." That is the quote that I live by. At the age of 17, those four actions have taken me very far. When I first chose to study journalism, I had no clue what I was getting myself into. I enjoyed writing and talking, so I figured that journalism was a class that would be laid back and easy. I soon discovered that it entailed so much more than what I'd expected. I was introduced to a completely new world that gave me the chance to not only express myself, but also to let other people inside my mind. Journalism is a challenge for me, and I believe that it is really a taste of the real world. Journalism is what I need.
