I'm the type of person that questions ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I constantly ponder on the "what if?" "why?" mentality which can be quite dangerous, but at the same time it's the only way I can actually relax. Over the last 3/4 years (especially during college), I've been listing down all the possible professions I could be. Funny enough, most of them have been scribbled out, and I'm left with:
- Broadcast Journalist
- News Reporter/ Broadcaster
- Presenter
A Broadcast Journalist because...
A lot of people that know me well know that I am a very confident and enthusiastic individual never afraid to show my personality and interact well with others. I believe that this job role expresses just that; talking to people from a different age, ethnic, and gender group and generally having good communication.
A News Reporter/ Broadcaster because...
As well as having a good presence in front of people, I believe that I am very articulate, projective and well-mannered. A lot of news reporters that we see these days often have these traits. Trevor McDonald is a very well known news reporter that has worked for ITV for over 10 years. Although he left in 2007, a reporter like him will always be remembered for his fantastic reporting skills, articulation and manners:
I really do like to broaden my horizon and trust me, this is definitely within deep thought. People may not see my passion but I definitely do. I'm 18 and decisive that I want to be a Journalist. How many people can say that? I want to travel the world, go to different countries with different customs, norms, values, beliefs; and deliver that to the world through documentaries, shows, programs, radio shows, websites etc.. this is what I want and I'm definitely going to strive for it.
I know that when I graduate and enter the world of Journalism, it definitely won't be the best job in the world at the beginning. I learnt a lot about this at a lot of workshops that I've visited. The most recent being a workshop at Kings College London, where I spoke to a lovely postgrad at City (and also attended Kings) Sophie Charara. She was so kind and really straight-up about the whole industry. I found this very helpful gaining an insight to someone who is going through what I will be going through in a couple of years. She gave us details of many employers that could be hiring and generally telling us her own experience. The 'horrors' of working as an intern at places that you wouldn't even categorise the word Journalism in didn't even scare me,it somewhat inspired me. I left the meeting with a bubbly happy feeling in my stomach. This is what I want and I'm going to do nothing but work hard for it. Yes it is a competitive industry, but yes I am capable of getting into that industry! Nothing has ever been easy for me so I'm going to drive onto this road of (hopefully) success and see where it leads me....
