I am applying to the Journalism and Communicatons Magnet because I believe that journalism is a great way to learn more about the world, and it is also an effective way to communicate with people. Journalism is a very important skill for me to learn, as it allows me to grow in what I've loved to do all my life. I've been writing since I was able to spell my name. I write stories when I have any extra time and I've always wanted to be an author and I trust that being a part of this magnet will help me excel in being able to expand my mind and fill it with even more creativity.
I'm currently working on a story called 'Husband' which I hope to use as a tool for communication between men and women who battle with domestic abuse. My goal in participating in this magnet specifically is to gain the ability to communicate with the people around me not only through conversation but also through writing. The thought of being able to connect with people just by writing to them is something I am very excited about. I want to become an exquisite writer and I know that being a student in this magnet will set me up to succeed in the future and build a solid foundation for my future career as an author. Sitting down and working with someone who is a professional at what I have been doing for years will be one of the most rewarding experiences I could have ever imagined having.
I aspire to begin my education at DuPont Manual High School and learn from others who are more experienced than me. I hope to gain valuable experience in the field of journalism and communication and become a successful journalist and write not only for myself but for the community as well. Just like I'll be recieving the proper help I need to augment in writing, I'd love to help others achieve their goals of becoming successful writers as well. Being a writer is work more than just a hobby. Being a writer is being the safe spot for many. I found a safe spot through reading and I connected with the author even though we didn't know eachother and that's my number one reason for continuing my studies on becoming an effective journalist.
I long to have more knowledge and skills to be able to easily communicate because that's something I'd like to do better at. The way I see it, journalism is a profession that requires you to be prepared for anything or anyone. If you don't mentally prepare yourself, your chances of success are slim to none, I think this is why journalists are always looking for ways to get better at what they do. I believe that I could add to this magnet with the skills thats I've already aquired throughout the course of my life. I have begun to realise that being a writer is my precious desire, so I made the choice to apply to the Journalism and Communications Magnet at Manual High.
