I got into journalism not because I aspired to be a journalist but simply because I couldn’t think of any other skills I had the potential to excel in besides writing, reading and editing. In elementary school, I wrote poetry for fun and brought books to recess so I didn’t have to play Star Wars with the other kids. As I got older, I looked over my parents’ email drafts to teachers and edited them before they were sent out. In high school, my best grades were in English and literature. I never had much of an interest in math or science. I wasn’t very good at them either.
