Now that I got those points out of the way, I’ll talk a little more about myself. I’m currently enrolled in a Visual Storytelling class at Owens Community College which requires me to make a blog.

​

My reason to join this course was to broaden my storytelling skills, and to make my photos capable of telling their own story, because many times I find myself explaining my meaning or purpose behind my pieces. When I grasp the visual storytelling, I believe it will help me in the long run.

​

After learning that I would be getting a first-hand experience in journalism through Owens Outlook Newspaper, I got excited to be a part of the media that breaks stories and shapes what viewers and citizens hear. Since blogs are a very personal and communicative way to do this, I’m very excited to utilize this website for that reason.

​

Also, I’m excited to learn how to use social media like Twitter first when breaking a story, and how to shape my full story in a better way with that information.

​

I hope this gave you all an insight as to why I’m writing this blog, and I hope you’ll come back to read my next blog post(which should have content much more interesting than this). Thank you all!
