I love my job. I really do. The second I walked into a TV station nearly four years ago, I felt like I was in the right place. I was pushed everyday to learn something new, and I did just that.
Now I sit here knowing I can do almost everything there is to do at "the station" - but I sometimes wonder if everything is enough. Don't get me wrong because this isn't negativity - it's hope. I participate in graduation ceremonies this upcoming Saturday, and I finish my college classes on July 2. And I've never been full of more hope in my life.
Some are scared. Some are ignoring it and pushing it to the back of their minds. And some are just waiting, hoping, like me.
"It's the economy." "Your graduating class has bad timing." These are all things I've heard. Over and over again. But it doesn't bother me. Because I'm hopeful.
My journalism career has been a major struggle. Getting accepted into the Missouri School of Journalism was one of the hardest things I've worked for in my entire life. There's so much I can tell to that story. But through my excitement, my tears, my pride, my mistakes and each of my accomplishments, I've conquered many goals. I told everyone in my life that I would one day graduate from one of the best journalism schools in the nation. And now I will.
So, I am not scared. I've conquered the biggest difficulty in my life before. I've climbed the hill, been to the top and moving on to the next place. Who knows where that will be? Hopefully I'll find out in a few months, weeks or days. It will be a place that will push me to learn every single day. A place that gives me more struggles, more thrills and more accomplishments. It will be a place of hope for the exciting future.
