Thoughts on Journalism and Poetry
I’m involved in a Journalism workshop at Fire that gives me the opportunity to write news stories, features, editorials, blogs, etc. I am also involved in numerous poetry events that Fire has to offer, and I feel that those events are wonderful outlets for expressing my creative talents. I attend the Journalism workshop every Monday from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Poetry events are usually every Thursday at 8:00 p.m. The poetry events allow me to learn more about the various forms of poetry, to gain knowledge from other poets, and network with multitudes of people with a similar passion for the art. I am taking part in these activities because I have always been a voracious writer, and I’ve had a strong desire for using writing as a tool to connect with the world. These programs have given me a substantial amount of help in developing my writing skills even further and it has also served as a stepping stone for my future career aspirations. I thoroughly enjoy being instructed every week on the different journalistic styles, and having the chance to write about different events, news, and/or happenings going on at Fire. Learning totally new things at such a rapid pace was a challenge for me. However, being able to write in a wide variety of ways, and having the chance to build my own portfolio makes the work satisfying. In general, I feel that the Journalism workshops as well as the poetry events are a success, because they give more writers the chance to express themselves, and gain valuable experience in these specialties. My dream is that the project will increase writing opportunities in the media for me and others.
