What I think of me....

I would say that I’m just an average eighteen year old girl who is looking to pursue a career in Magazine journalism, but maybe that is why many people describe me as ‘modest’.

However, this task has thrown up quite a few things that could back this description, which I haven’t thought about before. I don’t tend to follow any style, groups or even have a best friend that I have known for years and talk to every day, which many others do.

 

‘Modest’ describes someone who doesn’t boast about their previous accomplishments, but maybe that is because I still don’t have the same level of confidence as other people. This is something I would like to change.

I don’t see myself as someone who is determined to go straight down a one way path; I like to be adventurous in what I plan to do. Taking steps to the left, right and even backwards if I feel like I could have done better in something is the way I go about my life. Maybe that’s another adjective I could use to describe myself as, adventurous.

 

Magazine Journalism at Southampton university, I hope and I know, will offer me experiences that no one else will ever have the chance to take and this thought boosts my confidence by 1% every time I think about it. So by the end of the three gruelling, stressful and unbelievably amazing years I hope to see a different person in the mirror, as to what I see today.

 

I want to change from being ‘Grace Jalowiecka- the modest young girl who went to Southampton to study journalism, to ‘Grace Jalowiecka- the aspiring, young, journalistic talent’.

 

This is the first piece of work I wrote for my course :)
