Blog #1: Senior Project Topic

Q: What is your senior topic?
My senior project topic is Journalism. As of right now (09/27/11), it's just journalism, but I hope to narrow it down more specifically once the year progresses. I have changed my topic several times, but now I am 99.9% sure it will remain journalism for the rest of the year. 
Q: Why?
The reason behind this is because Journalism is something I have wanted to do as a career for some time. In the future, I hope to become a writer, professionally, thus I also want to major in either English or Journalism when I attend college. I have experience with journalism from yearbook and just love researching, writing, and being creative.
Q: What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
After studying the whole year about journalism, I hope to narrow down on what I want to pursue as a career in the field of journalism. I also hope to get my foot in the door to possible internships I will need in college next year when I will hopefully be a journalism/communications major.
