Personal Narrative: A Career As A Sports Writer

This being my first semester as a sports editor for the paper has taught me so much. Writing every week different stories has helped me become a more well rounded sports writer and familiarizing myself with different sports. I was able to get out of my comfort zone by writing about different sports that I never associated myself with such as lacrosse, swimming and soccer. I always considered myself to be the "baseball girl" but now I believe that I have become the "sports girl". I feel so much more comfortable writing every week and generate new ideas to write about. Writing for the paper has not only helped me personally with sports, but it helped me both as a professional and as a journalist. I have now tons of clippings to show future employers
