Dear students，
I am Jeremy C．Curimao and it is my great pleasure to share with you my experience in journalism.
What a year it has been！Since I decided to choose Journalism earlier on in the year, my ideas and thoughts about journalism in general have really changed.From the news articles I have written to the documentaries(纪录片)our class has watched, I have certainly gained quite a broad knowledge about journalism.
I am very thankful for this class.Believe it or not, I am going to college to major in Journalism！I am going to San Francisco State University in the fall to get my general education done and hopefully stay with my major, which is Online/Print Journalism！Taking this high school course was a really good choice on my part and I plan to develop my writing and publishing skills in college.
It is very unfortunate that Journalism will not be a main course next year, and I was really saddened by the news.Despite(不管) this discomforting piece of information, I am glad that the newspaper will still continue to be published in a school club.
I leave this course with a new confidence in writing.I hope that other writers now in Oceana will be equally inspired and finally join the Journalism Club in hopes of taking charge of The Weekly Fog.
Thank you.
Yours,
Jeremy C．Curimao
