The move to Manchester

Middlesbrough to Manchester - reminds me of a certain train journey I take every 3-4 weeks or so. 

But that's how it's been, since September 18th 2011, I have been on my journey into journalism - a train ride into the unknown. 

Half way into my first year as a journalism student at The University of Salford, Manchester, I've been thrown into the snake pit, (not really, more like being sent out to get stories, working towards a deadline), but I've managed to scramble out, not feeling like a corpse - but feeling more alive than ever.

And that's what I've learnt about myself, and why I want to become a journalist, whether it is in print media, digital and online or television - something I've yet to discover. 

Even after a long, hard day of rejection, if you have that drive and passion to still make it as a journalist, then, I believe, you know it's the job for you.
