Who the blog am I ?

I am like you. Learning continuously and being opened up to many new, exciting happenings in the big wide world. The ball we live in is infinitely amazing and expanding with ideas each day. It feels great to be a part of this growth. Blogging for the first time and although I was sceptical at first, it feels thrilling to be inputting into digital media. Just like the world is growing, I am growing and part of that is trying new things. This is a light group blog that will give readers an inside look at student life; to get an idea of what it is like going to University. I will be writing lightly about personal experiences as a journalism student. This would be a good blog to read for matriculants that would like to know what Rhodes is like and what they can expect when choosing to study Journalism. Maybe you can already tell that starting this blog was a part of my journalism course. Do not be fooled, being a journalism student is hard work and late nights but the valuable skills learnt this year have been worth the effort. This term I actually learnt there is more to the internet then Google and Facebook. Being a journalism student has been a discovery. A lot of thought and process goes into media and it is extremely influential. Journalists are effecting peoples view of the world. Journalists have a duty to interact in the world, find new stories and report. It takes time and effort to get a good story. When first starting my eyes were opened to a whole new media world that journalists live in; it is vast and it is moving fast. I feel closer to being part of that world, even now writing my own blog, feeling I have an identity to share with the media world. I feel enthusiastic and I hope that readers will be able to draw relevant information from this blog. I love to write and love the fact that you can find beauty and innocence in the simplest things in this world despite all the bad. Truly that is what I would want to focus on in my writing the simplistic beauty of the universe. That is why photography is so interesting and exciting to me because in one shot you can capture a moment of exquisiteness in its simplest form. Through this blog I am to find my identity as a journalist. I have never been good at defining myself because I am still in the process of learning who I am. Blogging may be a way of helping me piece together some of my journalistic identity.
