I am a guy trying to find his place in the world. I want to become a journalist who would leave a positive mark on the world. My goal is to show the world a man with cerebral palsy can make it. This blog was created to show you how an ordinary guy could be a positive contributor to any newspaper.
The blog will show you my ability to write feature and hard news stories while attending Eastern Michigan University. My favorite story on the blog is "Breaking Boundaries Through Hockey." The piece incorporates basic web design, video, and picture elements. The story shows members of the WheelChair Hockey League enjoying a game that is considered an able-bodied sport. The story was published on the league's Facebook page and website. The story is located on the bottom of the second page.
In addition to the hockey story, I am trying to get my "This I Believe Essay" published and a feature story called "Living Life with MD" printed in a local paper. The essay deals with my temporary bout with depression and how two trainers saved me from the disease. The second piece chronicles a young man's challenge to live life to the fullest while dealing with a fatal disability.
My resume shows some of the different skills that I learned at Schoolcraft Community College and currently at Eastern Michigan University. The two degrees in the areas of business and writing are the reasons that I am able to attend Eastern Michigan University's journalism program. I plan to graduate in the fall of 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in journalism.
