Writing
All of my experiences in writing have taught me different things. Compositions was one of the first college course that I took that really pushed me in my writing. We studied different forms of media and written media was the first. As we wrote our papers we had to keep in mind that we would be adapting these papers to both a visual project and an audio project, and it was an interesting concept.
Journalism was the first course that really showed me the down side to writing. I didn’t enjoy writing for journalism, but I enjoyed the challenge it presented to me as a writer. It pushed me to research and interview people and really get out there and find out something interesting. It also challenged me to put my opinions on the sideline, and find a balance within my writing.
Grant Writing was the most difficult writing course that I encountered in my college career. The white paper that I co-wrote with my group member was very challenging. This document had to be well researched, well written, and persuasive. It was also a great learning experience for working under very strict guidelines.

Project: Journalism Article Explanation: This is an article that I wrote for my Introduction to Journalism course. It is on the topic of the Houghton-Hancock rivalry in Houghton county where Michigan Tech is located and where I grew up. It was an interesting article to write because I had to put my own feelings to the side and write a story that represented both sides. Skills Used: Microsoft Word Interviewing Archival Research |
