For this assignment, I was asked to discuss various topics concerning modern-day journalism in response to a meeting we had with a radio host from the CBC here in New Brunswick, Terry Seguin. I was absent from school on that day, and so I did not have the privilege of listening to the experienced journalist speak. However, I will try my best to present my views on similar topics that were discussed in that meeting from that day, to the best of my ability.
Topic #4: Thoughts On My Future
It is clear that Mr. Seguin really enjoys his career. As you consider your next step after graduation, is this something you are considering? Is the path you are considering something you think you will be excited about and enjoy? Discuss what you plan on doing and why you think it is something you will enjoy.
I describe my journey as not a set path, but rather a known direction. I know where I want to be at the end of my education, in my career and in my personal life, I just haven't put constricting titles to each of these things yet. Perhaps I never will really quite know what to call myself, artist is a broad term, so it is best for me to use that for now, as it encompasses so many occupations and ways of life.
There is such a thing as an artist lifestyle and a tightly night artist community and that is something that I want to embrace as I leave high school and seek out my own path. This includes working alongside those who are in the journalism industry as well.
I may not become a journalist; it is still too soon to say and I don't want to restrict myself to just that title. However, many of my close friends will be journalist, I am sure, and I will love being in the company of people who I can relate to on a more personal level. Photographers, writers, painters, graphic designers, musicians, sculptors, dancers, actors and journalists --we are all very much alike.
