JOURNALISM

Being a journalist is an exciting job - and we think learning about it is exciting too! Some people think that being a journalist only involves writing, but in fact, before any writing can take place, a journalist has to read and listen to information, and talk to people to get their stories - and that is exactly what you will learn to do in this class!  You will not only learn about journalism, but you will practice being a journalist. There will be a final class project that will involve one or several aspects of being a journalist.

Changing My Routine

ATTACK OF THE HOPE

by Shiki Saijo

What do people think about this period? I thought this period was a good opportunity to change my life. Why did I change my life? Because my life has been unhealthy.  I wanted to be fulfilled in my life and I don't want to get fat. I mean, I easily get fat, and it is difficult to maintain my body. So I have tried a lot of things.

Gigi came to my house when he was one month old.  He was really tiny and timid, and he had been having days alone at the corner of my room with dust by the time I gave him kitty’s milk the first time.  He was born in my girlfriend’s house on March 31 when we started entering the lockdown due to COVID-19.

quarantine determination

by Nazma Maredia

I am going to talk about my  personal  good experience story. One day I thought about how to stay fit and healthy, which I couldn’t do earlier. At that time I was a little overweight, and I felt tired because my body had  swelling and also I felt low energy in my body. I am Anemic. The weight loss process is very challenging, but everyone wants to do it. There are many steps involved in this but the most important thing is to stick with it. And I promised myself.

making lemons

by Nara Rodrigues Milfont

These quarantine days have not been easy for anyone. The world has lived such a unique and stressful time with a lot of deaths, doubts and fear because of this terrible Coronavirus. To make this time even worse, we have a media system really 
interested in selling news anyway. Therefore, it is very important to find out some ways to be less stressed, such as praying as much as possible, meditating, practicing exercise, gardening and other things...

natural transformation

The day was Sunday. The phone ringing wouldn’t stop ringing.  So I had to answer the phone. My friend called me at 10 a.m. She told me that her friends would be going to paddle at Zilker park.  I felt lazy, but my boyfriend agreed with my friends, so we had to go. At noon I went to Zilker park with my friends. I saw a lot of cars in the parking lot. I walked down to the Colorado River. I saw a lot of people, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, paddles, and life jackets. People were relaxing. ​

Dr. Adam Hart | His life as a Doctor

When I started the conversation with Dr. Adam Hart this week, he had just finished working with his accountant. I asked if he had spent enough time with his baby during the day. “ No I haven’t, but fortunately, My wife and nanny have been taking care of him,” he said, “I have to work really hard to make sure that he’s going to have a good education." ​

The Violin in her life lifted her up to the Sky

Is it  possible to feel as if you were touching the sky with your hand? The answer is: maybe, or maybe not. Everybody could say that  feeling as if you were touching the sky with your hand is a kind of those human experiences you can live only a few times in life. 
“We all felt the same energy, at the same time”
Lynn Petro is currently the Academic Supervisor of Aston International English Academy, but education is not everything in her life.
