Hi, my name is John Grant, and I attend Humber College for journalism. During my semesters at Humber, I’ve discovered that I have many passions that are outside the ones that I have previously held dear to my heart. But, before I tell you about these new passions, let me tell you about my old ones first. I grew up playing soccer for as long as I can remember, and I know that sport like the back of my hand. Anything to do with soccer intrigues me, and I can say that I may be obsessed with this sport. The game of soccer has taught me how to persevere through adversity and keep my composure during stressful moments. Another passion of mine that I hold dear to my heart is writing poetry. Growing up, I was always ashamed of the fact that I loved words that conveyed deep emotions, and that writing of that nature captivated my attention. Still, as I progressed in life, I realized that I should not be afraid of who I am and that I should embrace exactly the type of person that I want to be. Now, onto my new passions that I have discovered during my journey into journalism.
The one passion that I’m surprised to be into is my passion for magazine and video editing. I was surprised by how much magazine resonated with me. The free-flowing structure of writing magazine articles makes me feel that I can talk about whatever I like in-depth detail, and provide my reader with great information, and inform them truthfully. Moreover, video editing is something that showed dimensions of myself that I didn’t know existed. The intricacies of editing make me feel something deep within my core that shows me that there is more to life then what I have previously discovered. I hope with journalism, I can share my passions with magazines and video, and have my viewers and readers feel the same emotions and expressions I feel when I do my passions.
