Learning Journalism Early in Life

My daughter is into Campus Journalism in their school. They attend the special subject after their regular classes and they will tackle about making a structure of the news story, types of leads, body of the news and lots of pointers in writing. It’s good that early in their school life they were exposed to subject of learning like journalism because it will surely enrich their skills in writing their ideas. It will give them an advantage when they reach secondary education.

I also love writing and it has become my hobby since high school. It’s one of the college courses that I wanted to take when I was choosing my would-be career but opted for computer engineering to ensure better job opportunities. My dream was my second priority then. No regrets though as I’ve come to love my course and now being a blogger I can use both – my love for writing and my knowledge in computers.

Inter-School Journalism Competition

Early in the morning both my daughters joined the team that will compete in an inter-school Journalism contest, it actually started yesterday but the real competition is only today. I didn’t go with them as it’s a whole day affair and Josh will be alone with my Mom the whole day and he needs to review for his last day of examination tomorrow. Anyway I taught my kids on the basic of writing a good post with some relevance to journalism.

Ruth just joined the Filipino journalism club last Saturday and she was picked to join the group yesterday. Actually I just learned it in the afternoon when I visited their school. They had a late notification that Filipino journalism will be competed together with English. I can feel the rush preparation of school teachers assigned to head and manage the team. It’s hard to work like that especially if you’re dealing with kids. The other English journalism competition is a little bit prepared as Gen has been joining journalism classes for one month now on a twice in a week schedule. Hope the school will meet a good competition and bring home awards or ranks at the least. Good luck to the whole team!
