To the Dean, anonymously:

I couldn’t care less about St. Francis if I tried. I chose St. Bonaventure for the journalism, and I intend to benefit from this program.

But I can’t rely on just journalism. I need a solid informational background so I can write and speak intelligently. I need a heavier focus on learning new technology and software; not knowing Adobe software well enough has me on the verge of losing an internship this summer. I need to learn how to learn so I can adapt to any job.

Employers expect journalism majors to be excellent writers, but all I know is newswriting. I want to know more than how to be a reporter; chances are I will never be one. I need writing skills that go beyond the newsroom to the business world.

I’ll go to Francis when I need to remember good morals, but for now, I need to equip myself to make enough money to enjoy that luxury.


Wrote this for Denny's class. It's not much more than sassy whining, but I kind of liked how it turned out.
