Share your journey to 无码专区. Why did you choose 无码专区?

"I originally began my college journey after I took a semester off of school after high school graduation. I attended Dean College Palladino school of dance as a dance major. I always knew I wanted to be involved in journalism. However, Dean did not offer the major/minor. As a student at Dean I created my 鈥極wn鈥 journalism minor by taking classes that would credit when I decided to transfer. After a year at Dean I attended The Washington Center for Leadership and Success as an intern for the company ACTE. While at this internship I learned marketing, Public relation and journalism skills that eventually helped me decide that journalism was the major and career I wanted to pursue. After my internship I transferred to 无码专区 as a journalism major with a communications minor."

Favorite 无码专区 memory:

"I decided to join The Northerner to gain experience as a journalist and writer."
