My passion is journalism.
This became my passion in fourth grade when my teacher allowed us to write summaries of any books of our choice. Believe it or not, I enjoyed doing this, even for homework, because it aligned so closely with my interests. Now, I want to pursue journalism as a career. There are many different and interesting aspects to journalism, and I hope to someday become a successful journalist.
Attending Discover Hopkins will develop my passion because it gives students the opportunity to practice the art of journalism in various classes. I will be able to learn new techniques and sharpen my skills so that if I ever get my work published, It will be my best work.
"Katieann is a perfect fit for Discover Hopkins because she advocates for herself, is responsible, and has a deep passion for writing. What is most impressive about Katieann is her ability to keep a level head under stressful situations, while also encouraging others in the process. Her work ethic, enthusiasm, and her creativity alone make Katieann perfect for this opportunity.
Katieann would benefit enormously from participating in such a prestigious program because it would really propel her forward in her writing. She is on a mission to get into an excellent college, and this program would help put her one step closer to reaching her dreams."
After attending this program, I can tell you that I have received a real feel of what it would be like attending college. Everyone was placed into a class, and the one that I had was Criminality in the Internet age. It was a very interesting topic. Within the first week, I had to complete a five page paper profiling spree killers. It was a very challenging assignment because I didn't have much experience writing five page papers. During the second week, our professor talked more about Criminality in the Internet age and he had us do another five page paper. There were many activities exposed to us, and I was very pleased with my stay here. I have learned not to procrastinate and to be aware of the amount of work I will receive in college.
I am deeply thrilled to attend my program at Discover Hopkins. Knowing that John Hopkins University is a place that I would love to attend for college, I know that I will have an insightful experience that will influence future decisions. I will get to know what it's like to live in dorms and take college classes. I am so excited, thank you so much!
Keep working hard!
