The Beginning

And so my very first blog begins. What was SCC thinking giving ME a blog? (Just kidding). It’s my passion to write. I have aspirations to pursue journalism and freelance writing. It all started my sophomore year of high school. I wanted to be a great athlete but never had phenomenal hand-eye coordination. So what sport does every wannabe athlete join? Cross-country of course (Another joke). By the time I ran half way through my first 5K I realized that maybe this is not my calling and maybe I won’t survive till the end of this race.

So, I took a journalism class. The teacher thought I was very good so she asked me to join the newspaper staff. I was a staff writer my junior year covering any story, interviewing, taking pictures etc. My senior year I started as the Ad manager and ended as the editor in chief. I enjoyed it so much and learned a lot. I also wrote for the Suburban Journals as an Amp writer and currently as an Opinion Shaper as well as a staff writer for the SCCougar. I am always looking for ways to improve my craft and empower minds.

I am also active in my community. I love working with organizations like Restore St. Louis and Oasis food pantry. It’s my desire to show love to others around me and leave them better off for having known me. Christianity is not just a part of my life, it is my life, but do not let this inhibit you from participating in my blog. I want to hear other views and other perspectives. I want to be enlightened not ignorant. Thank you once again SCC for the opportunity and hopefully through my words and your comments we can improve the world in which we live.
