Au revoir, Zaijian, Ciao, Goodbye

Bit of a sentimental title for the end of the semester. Guess I got really attached to you, JOUR1111. 


Quick lecture recap: We had Steve Molk in for the last lecture. I didn't take notes, I just sat there and listened to his experiences and his advice, which was essentially to take every opportunity you have to get yourself out there. It was a powerful last lecture and fitting for an awesome course. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop blogging on here - Steve's lecture only reinforced me wanting to keep writing! 


I just want to share a little something with you. It's my source of inspiration when I feel I can't accomplish anything. In 2009 I did an internship with the International Herald Tribune. It was an amazing experience that I was so lucky to have. I worked with a foreign correspondent, Mark McDonald, on an article about Bruce Lee and helped compile background information. As a result, I got my first byline!


Here's the online edition:

Good luck to everyone continuing with Journalism! It was a great course and I met awesome people during it, as well as learning a lot.
