For starters, people/life aren't as bad as my mind has set them up to be. For whatever reason I had it drilled into my brain that both people and life were horrible. That all people are dangerous, scary, rude, or any negative description you can think of, and that life was a miserable hell that is what I'm exposed to in my high school habitat. However, in reality, people are amazing. The different color's in each individual, the wide variety of personalities, and the many stories that have made a person into who they are; amazing. I'm thinking that maybe it wasn't that I didn't like people, but that I did not understand them and was too afraid to try. But now, I know how people work and can better work with people. People are inspiring, I quite like them. And as for life it's full of opportunity. What I know, isn't the only thing life has to offer. There is so much more than being caught in a town, even as diverse as Houston. Life is beautiful and priceless, and I am going to make the most out of mine.
I am amazing. Not that I'm trying to seem super self absorbed, but it's good to see the good in yourself, remind yourself that you've got the goods (people have helped me see that lately). I can do so much with what I've got and can continue to grow to do even more. I am a great leader, it's not just in my head. I really do have it, I can be the one to inspire people, or a single person. I can take charge and speak up. I can be heard because I have a voice. I am independent and confident in myself. I am important, there is only one of me and I matter. I have value and one day, I really can change the world.
Being involved with the public is extremely important. I need to care about what's going on and be aware about what I can be a part of. I need to present myself always at my best, and network, and let the world hear me. I need to watch the news (I'm already a newly found news junkie), do my research (read), and pick up a camera or pen and write whatever I can on any story.
Journalism is for me. It's what I want to do in life. It makes me happy. It makes me feel important, powerful, and connected. I'm not yet sure if I want to be on tv, writing for papers or the web, behind a camera, or what. I don't know where I want to be, or what I'll even be good at doing. But I Know that I enjoy interacting with people, learning more about something each second, and relaying the truth to others. I know that there are so many options for me to chose from. I'm confident that I'll be great at whatever it is I do, but in this field I'll also be happy. I can't wait to be the best darn journalist I can be. (Yay for first real blogging blog!)
Home is a good thing. Even when my family drives me insane, I love them to death and I DO have a place where I belong. I know that I'll still leave for college, but I'll be back. It's nice having somewhere I can always come back to no matter what. I love my home.... It's good to be home.
