I've also realized this is why I want to do journalism. There are people doing great things in the world; and I want to write about them. There is always a story behind every event, every tragedy, every struggle. It's not just words on a page. I love to talk, probably more than I should since I am a terrible interrupter (which I'm trying to be better at). But I like to tell other people about other things; I like to inform people. This is why I know that even if I just freelance it on a blog, or get an actual job at a paper, I will always like writing and journalism.

Campus Story
For this assignment, I covered an event held on the BYU–Idaho campus. Through doing this assignment, I know that I don't want to do broadcasting. But I do like covering events. I liked talking to the woman about her accomplishment and the challenges that accompanied it. I liked writing about the story and also the challenges she experienced. I have been able to meet so many people through journalism. This event wasn't extremely difficult. I think the hardest part for me was writing the broadcast script.

It's interesting how related and yet how different all of the different aspects of journalism can be. For example for me it was a lot easier to write the broadcast script, because I feel like it's more human-like of dialogue because you get that face-to-face interaction, not only between you and your interviewee but also the audience becomes a part of that experience too.
