Where to start?

Well I know that the future is coming around fast, to be honest, I can remember when the future seemed light years away, but here I am - nearly 16 years old, almost entering the world in which I will soon be labelled 'an adult' a phrase in which when I was 10 I really wanted to be, but now it's a reality I don't want it anymore. Time is too fast.

Since I started year 10 I realised that I really enjoyed English, I really loved writing about subjects, feelings etc. Whilst doing coursework I realised my talents in writing too as my grades were: Poetry - B, Creative writing - A, Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet - A and Gothic Literature: George Eliot: The Lifted Veil - A*. I enjoyed writing my coursework as it gave me a chance to write in varied ways: creatively, understanding 19th century prose, Shakespearean language etc.

As of course we are all aware the future approaches quickly more than it did 10 years ago, and in that case I really need to start deciding on my future plans, future careers - future this, future that. I have decided - at the moment, that I am interested in pursuing a career in Journalism as it seems quite a wide media of things from research to broadcasting from interviewing etc, and I love independent writing and researching. The thing is I know that Journalism is hard to get into, and that really you need your 'big-break' which I wish would come, but I don't think it will, also there is so much competition that it will be difficult, I want to try my best to aspire to be one, we shall have to see what my future has to hold. I wouldn't mind doing any sort of career in writing as long as I can be opinionated as I am very much independent about writing etc. I wouldn't mind being a novelist either as I feel that writing a novel would give me a chance to express myself and write in a language and persona that I would feel comfortable with. I really hope that one day I will enter a career that involves writing... We shall see, but for now school work is essential. Not long though... Future is coming.
