I have also taken Journalism classes and will have written on the school newspaper for all four years of high school, covering and broadcasting basically every sport imaginable. I’m planning on attending Northwestern’s journalism program this summer, and I worked on a sports journalism website in 10th grade affiliated with yahoo. I really do want to write on my college’s school paper, but don’t necessarily want to major in journalism. Hopeful to be Managing Editor of the paper next year.
