As I finish my first year as assistant sports editor and head into my second, I want to take a moment to share my story.
Believe it or not, a year ago, I wasn’t a journalism major. I was writing for The Phoenix as a hobby and a break from my life as a biology major on the pre-med track. Also a year ago, after a mixture of hating chemistry and loving writing for the sports section, I made the ambitious decision to completely change my plan.
While I’ve had a lot of support along the way, I’ve faced a lot of roadblocks that made me question my decision to switch my major.
