I probably won’t work as a reporter after I finish university, but this doesn’t mean my experience as a reporter has been useless. In fact, I have learnt something important through this job. I still remember my first news story. It was about the winning of the school baseball team. I came to the celebration and was told to do some interviews. I was afraid. Talking to people I didn’t know was one of my worries. But I tried my best and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This experience made me believe in myself and helped me to improve my social skills. As a student reporter, I have learnt to do research and to think carefully about what to write. Finding out the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the information age, this is also a useful skill in everyday life. As a student reporter, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I’m never afraid of asking people for advice. I have learnt how to use it to improve myself. To be a reporter is not easy, but I felt thankful because I have had the chance to try it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen.
