Frustrated, but Prepared

Sometimes, I just feel so overwhelmed and frustrated, despite the fact that what I am working for is something I want so bad. I need to keep my composure and stay on track.

I really am grateful for being able to go to school again and be challenged, but sometimes it just seems too much. Some of the work that I have been having to do has been very trying. It's not like it is difficult, it is just the amount of work and the fact that it is a writing class that I am taking that makes it even more challenging. I want to and need to become a better writer, so I have a better understanding and can be more prepared for a career in broadcasting. Sports broadcasting is what I want to be involved with, either in radio or TV.

In class today, we talked about broadcasting and how to put a newscast together. We were given an assignment to write three, two-minute newscasts in relation to some stories in an exercise. At first, we had to do five exercises, but professor Manuse changed his mind and said three.

So despite my current mood or the fact that I feel it is too much work, along with the article project we have to do and the press release project, I have to get it done. This assignment will help drill it into my head how to write a newscast and how to better read and write a broadcast.

We have all this work to do as well as chapter reviews to finish, and fortunately, I have time to do this writing, even though I am working at my internship three days a week. I have to remain calm, work steadily and be patient. I want to not only complete this class and get a good grade, but I want to actually learn and become better at writing, because it will be beneficial to me in the future of my career.

We have three weeks left of class, or about five more classes after this one tonight. Out of all the classes I have had at Hesser College, this has been the most challenging. Yet, this will be one of the classes that will best prepare me for my future career. This class will prepare me, whether I am writing sports newscasts for personalities or whether I am the personality myself.

Hopefully, I will play a major role in the sports reporting industry, and I can look back at this class with great respect. Right now, it is pretty frustrating, but in the end I am sure it will pay off.
