THE NEXT BIG THING

SA crash out of Champions Trophy, Zuma lashes Mbeki on Aids, Michael Jackson single to be released, OOPS Britney Spears Does it AGAIN!- this is the news that we feed off on a daily basis. We converse, discuss and debate matters such as this. We follow celebrities, disasters and many more aspects which are happening world wide all around us. Who can we thank for this? The answer my friends, is not blowing in the wind, it is the Journalists across the world that we have to thank.Journalists perform a very important task in providing a basis for us to make in formed decisions and opinions about what is going on in the news of the World we live in. By researching and writing about matters, we the readers are told a story of what is happening around the world, and from that we get to form our own ideas and opinions. In other words, what journalists write is not always what we have to think.

Working in an office, behind a desk everyday for the rest of my life seems like a nightmare to me, which is why journalism inspires me so much. Being able to have a career which encourages me to go out there, to be on the streets and work with people gets my blood pumping. I’m loud, I’m ‘out there’, I’m a sociable and confident person that find people fascinating, so why not make a career out of it? Being a journalist gives me the freedom of making something out of my extremely opinionated personality. I have a ‘no-holds-bar’ when it comes to my opinions and I strongly feel that people will enjoy reading what I have to say because of that.

Fashion- something that makes my toes curl and holds my attention. My passion for fashion along with Journalism is what I see myself doing for the rest of my life. Fashion Journalism- yes, I have heard it a million times before, “everyone wants to be in Fashion.” Being such a stubborn opinionated person, I refuse to believe that I will be just like everyone else. I am going to find a new, fresh take on the industry and I am going to be the next “big thing”
I see myself in all major ‘fashion cities’, looking out for new trends, taking photographs for magazines, interviewing Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren and many more world famous designers, I see my name written in magazines such as Elle, Cosmopolitan and Vogue. I see myself as the next big thing.
