Why NOT?

The better question to ask when thinking about why to hire me is why would you not? I am a student who is already a junior in only my fourth semester of college. I am in the Honors Program with a 3.9 GPA, whose degree path includes a B.S. in journalism with political science and German minors. I am set to be the editor-in-chief of GSU's newspaper beginning this summer, a newspaper that is available to approximately 20,000 people.

I am committed to everything that I do and give it my all so that I may proud of it when I finish. I have a strong sense of internal motivation and do things because they should be done, not because I have to or because I'm told to. I'm friendly and sweet, so I get along with many different people, but at the same time, I will not let people walk all over me. I would do anything for those that I care about; I have a firm notion justice that I am constantly working to uphold. I have strong opinions that I love to voice, but I will listen to everyone else's too because I love to learn, and I am especially drawn to learning about people and how the individual operates.

That innate sense of curiosity combined with my desire for change and ability to apply what I learn is what is going to enable me to make a mark on the world. I express myself clearly and concisely -- I am a journalist after all. I know how to communicate effectively with various groups of people, whether they be professionals, peers, students or even children. While artists narrate with pictures, I illustrate with words. I want to call attention to issues that need it and present options to make life better for people everywhere.

I have the drive and ability to make a difference, just give me the chance to let me show you what I can do.
