Jessica poses for an autumn portrait during her senior year.
My name is Jessica, and I love to read and write. Maybe not always news stories, but more creatively. I enjoy writing short stories and poetry. However, I do still have an interest in journalistic writing, as well as current events. As for reading, I love fantasy, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, etc. If I find the book interesting, I will likely read it. Unless, I am assigned a boring book in English, in which case I will SparkNotes that. Just kidding.
I get a lot of my news from CNN, especially with Carl who does the video news updates. If you haven't already, definitely go check him out! I look at the Spokesman review from time to time, but generally search online for what I want to know and then look deeper into the issue I am interested in. As for my entertainment, I am a Pinterest and Instagram kind of gal! I love to pin!
Now, if someone were to make a video of me, I would likely be making the video, or shooting footage, editing, etc. I love video production, and have been making weekly videos for my school. I have recently started making video advertisements for an insurance company here in my town, which gives me experience, and above all, I enjoy doing it. I would likely be eating in the video as well.
I wanted to take this journalism class because I think it is important for me to learn how to express myself through effective news writing. I think creating documentaries would be a great career, but a lot of the research and conceptual aspects would involve a lot of journalistic skills that I need to develop. I have already found the class of interest, and learning about how news used to be has been really fascintating. I can't imagine breaking news taking months to travel, and how people had to, at one time, write out their news with ink.
