Final Remarks
This portfolio is the capstone on four years of my life. Writing reflections opened my eyes to how much journalism changed me. Every article, photo, design and video developed me in subtle ways I only unveiled at a second look.
Then, I think back to the dozens and dozens of interviews. The places I would have never gone if it weren’t for my journalistic curiosity. The families I touched that made all of those late night writing sessions more than worth it.
I am a journalist, that’s that. Every piece of documentation I create becomes part of me. I’m eternally trapped in a cycle of journalistic curiosity, and know there are infinite stories waiting for me outside of high school.
My home is a newsroom; anywhere I go, journalism will be.
This is my calling.
