I want to do Honours because I want to put the knowledge I have gained throughout my life, and in my undergrad degree, to use. What benefit is knowledge if it is kept to oneself? I hope to create a portfolio that demonstrates my interests and abilities to future employers, but more importantly to myself. I have been working full time in Administration since completing the undergrad program in 2006, and whilst working for working’s sake has its benefits, it doesn’t nourish my soul. After uni I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, so taking time to think seriously about this has been beneficial. I have always been attracted to writing. Many of the electives I choose to do during my degree were writing based, such as journalism, creative writing, and screenwriting. My self-created Major. I am also good at it, although I tend to underestimate my abilities, despite constant good grades for essays and written projects. For my Honours Project I want to create a magazine, and write every article in it. I want it to be the kind of magazine that I want to read; filled with the kind of articles that I want to write. I enjoy media and writing primarily for the content and themes; for what the writer is trying to say. I have learned a lot on my journey so far; and what makes my soul smile is teaching people through the power of words. I hope to continue to learn throughout my life, and share this knowledge with others where possible.
