“Writing to me is where my real voice comes out. Everything that I cannot say with words I put to the pen. A knight’s sword is attached to his hip, just as the pen is an extension of my hand. “ - TJ Campbell

Throughout my adolescence and teenage years, I have never fit in and or been very confident. I was always the man who idolized the old heroes in movies and stories, from Indiana Jones to fantastical legends like Jon Snow. But then I found my soul and identity when I wrote as a way to cope with my anxieties and tribulations. All the confidence I could not exude I could do through the pen which I did all throughout my three years of high school so far. I see the next year of being part of Journalism as another extension of my creativity, only this time I get to tell other people’s stories instead of having to come up with them on my own.
