The feeling hasn't yet set in!

Becoming a campus journalist with click4college is probably the best thing that could happen to me. Scoring good marks in English in school and the Board exams was assuring enough that I was on my way to becoming a journalist…but as it turned out, it was easier said than done.

Writing articles on various topics such as the much-dreaded admission process, and meeting deadlines that were sacrosanct  introduced us to the basics of journalism. And to top it all, there was the amazing photo shoot. However, what was unexpected was how the whole thing would change my equation with my friends and family. Getting my photo published in the newspaper was a major thing, and my friends believed that success had gone to my head, which was not at all true. 

When my family read my article and saw my photo, they would say, “So you are a journalist now? You’ve got a job? You won’t go to college now?” I wish!

The whole CJ experience gave me a high. The feeling hasn’t sunk in yet. The college orientation day saw my seniors recognising me as the “guy who writes in the newspaper”.  Now this is what I call being “cool” and “popular”. But this is just the beginning…There’s much, much more to achieve!
