About Me
Hello my name is Brandon Castillo. I come from a big family that I love. My parents have always been very supportive of the dreams and goals I set. I took art classes, played sports, all the activities that I enjoyed as a child. As of now, I am undeclared, but I plan on pursuing Broadcast Journalism. It would be a dream come true to work for a major television station. In high school I was a member of the journalism class for three years. My experience with this class was not a pleasant one. The class was very laggard, and we had published about three to four papers within the school year. I turned towards the idea of Broadcast journalism because I love the attention, and retrieving information from others. My mom says I can be a bit nosy. I like to think of myself as reporting. In my spare time I like to be active, outside playing sports. I am currently playing on an adult slow pitch softball team at Twin Creeks Sports Complex. A weakness that I can improve on with writing is, the length of my pieces. I've found that writing lengthy essays are challenging for me. I need to work on extending my thoughts into something greater. A strength I believe I have in my writing is that my papers are not the same old boring pieces every other student writes. I like to write refreshing papers that readers would want to read. As far as my career in the near future goes; I want nothing more than to enjoy what I do, because thats what's most important to me in life.

I'm sorry your high school journalism experience was not good, but I'm glad you made your way to my class.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about writing long pieces. I used to be just phobic about it. In fact, when I was in college, I'd drop the class if it required a 10-page or longer term paper. My upper limit was about 8 pages. I preferred doing 3-5 page papers.
But since then, I've found that if I break those bigger, more daunting projects into several smaller parts, I can deal with them a part at a time ... without freaking. Just a thought. ;)
OK, here's a couple things you need to fix in this blog post:
1) This sentence has a dangling modifier: Growing up my parents were very supportive of my dreams. You can find out how to fix that here.
2) I don't think lagged is the right word. Laggard, perhaps? Look it up.
It's revised thanks for the feedback.
