This semester has been absolutely uh-mazing! I have made life long journalism friends and have written about things that I actually enjoyed, who would have thought?
This semester in particular has been one of growth. I have learned how to go out and find a story, been pressured by deadlines and have gotten over my fear of going up to strangers and asking them questions. I have learned a lot in JOUR 300 and will continue using all the techniques that Yvonne has taught us.
I remember when I decided to pick Noe Valley for my beat. I had never heard of it before. From what I read, it is a district where friendly people were always around in cafes or walking their dogs.
I have learned about the people, the businesses and the changes that will eventually come out of this district. It was a refreshing experience spending time in a place where I knew no one and coming up with stories.
Our last day of class is today and I am really going to be sad. Everyone in this class has so much talent and I can't wait to have class with you guys in the future! As for Yvonne, I have learned so much. Your experiences and stories are truly inspiring. I have never been more excited and anxious to get into the field of journalism.
I know I'm being super sentamental and corny but hey, that's just my personality. I like to gush from time to time!
Where am I?
