Here I come World

You know that moment when you finally realize what you want to spend the rest of your life doing? That tiny moment where everything seems to make sense and you final understand why you were put here in this world? A bit dramatic, yes, but that's what I experienced recently.
I finally realized why I want to be a journalist, why I plan to attend Syracuse and major in Public Communications, why I'm going to move to Chicago after college and write for the Chicago Tribune.
This epiphany was jumpstarted by a conversation I had with my father about our current newspaper. I expressed my concern that our newspaper did not do what a newspaper should do, give voice for the students who sometimes felt deprived of it, bring the truth to the people around us. My dad looked at me and told me,"If you don't like it, do something about it. Make it your job to create a newspaper that represents the voices of the students and unifies them even more.

Isn't that what a journalist would do? "

That moment was the second that I discovered that that is exactly what be to be done. This would be the beginning to my endless journey to bring truth and justice to the world through words. This I'm what I'm supposed to do.
Therefore, this post is my promise to make that dream come true. And the first thing I need to do is make sure this school has a newspaper that will continue to provide news and the honest truth to the people who read it long after I graduate and become a reputable journalist for the Chicago Tribune.

Littlle Shop Little shop of Horrors

Well, the day, came, went and past. The list went out (and yes I was on it) and we've already had the first rehearsal. It's amazing how fast it's all going. Soon enough, it'll be the opening night and I'll bhe on stage with about twenty of my peers, singing and dancing for a huge audience. it actually doesn't scare me. I'm as excited as I can possibly be. I can't wait to show myself and everyone else the side of me that I never knew existed. I know it will be the hardest thing I've ever done, but I want this too much too even thinking about giving up. And I'm pretty confident that i can speak for the entire cast in that statement.

Speaking of the cast, for anyone who lives under a rock, the main principal roles for this show are:

Justin-Seymour
Me-Audrey
Alenson-Mr. Mushnick
Lamont-Orin
Jovan-Audrey two
The Doowop Girls
Daysha
Nicolette
Nayo
Raven Cruz

Of course there are so many more people who make the musical beautiful, all the people in the chorus who have parts, songs, and dances to step to.Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor energy to write all their names out. just know, chorus, you won't be forgotten, especially when you leave the audience in awe after the song Skid Row.
