People ask me all the time, "Why do you write for The Odyssey?" There are so many reasons I create content for this program! The reason could be something simple as it helps me get my emotions in the open or something more meaningful knowing that hundreds of people are reading my voice! Whatever it is I am glad to have this opportunity!
Emotions in Motion
Whether I am having a really good day that is full of motivation or a really bad day with a lot of tears, writing always helps! I like to spread the cheer in advice articles or short stories with beautiful endings. I also, on my bad days like to remind myself to stay in touch with reality and shed a little light on the more serious issues, or if it is a really bad day I throw out my political view.
A Blank Slate to Create
This social media platform allows me to create my unique voice and spread it throughout the nation. I can take these keys and white screen and turn it into something inspirational and tear jerking! I can turn my simple Facebook profile into complex system of ideas and imagination. It is another lens to help individuals view the world.
Reference of the Essence
When I am able to tell a prospective employer I was in charge of meeting deadlines, leading a team, and editing articles weekly it looks amazing! I love seeing their jaw drop and the questions that follow. When I can say that I have articles published it gives me a little more confidence to shake their hand with! This is a great opportunity to put your skills to the test and show employers what you got.
No Judging Just Hugging
This isn't a place to be ridiculed and have your work sent back a hundred times. It is a place to feel at home and be a published author without someone breathing down your back. I can do what I want when I want, which makes it all worth it to me! I feel comfortable sharing my ideas and my voice with this program! I love this opportunity I've been given!
