This is what freedom means to me: I am entitled to hold whichever beliefs I choose and challenge the beliefs of others-but only if I'm willing to be challenged back, to actually listen to those who disagree. In order to fully possess my own freedoms, I have to accept the freedoms of others, even when they are employed in ways I find offensive or just irritating. (1) comment
It is interesting how sometimes years need to go by before we understand certain events in our lives. Although I never fully understood the value of journalism-until I edited a newspaper, that is-my first experience with it was when in eight grade I tried to create a news-magazine for my school.

As a journalist, freedom of speech and of the press are two rights that should remain near and dear to my heart. Unfortunately I am not known for speaking my mind on issues, and usually do not defend my beliefs, attitudes or values when I'm surrounded by others whose beliefs, attitudes and values differ from my own.

When I arrived at St. Norbert College, one of the first things I asked people on campus was, "How can I start writing for the newspaper?" But I soon was disappointed to find out that, at this time, the paper hardly even existed. The 2006/07 editor published a few pages here and there but failed to respond to any of my emails inquiring about how I could get involved. (0) comments
