I liked this switch in writing style, it was a cool switch up to focus on just one person and really dive into their story. It felt meaningful to give someone the spotlight, especially someone who I believe truly deserved to have their story told. There’s something powerful about shining a light on one individual’s life, especially when they’ve made such an impact, like the way my professor has. That being said, as I look back on the piece, I do wish I had taken a slightly different approach. Specifically, I think it would’ve added more depth and perspective if I had included another voice—ideally a student who is currently in her class. This could’ve reinforced the points I was making about her teaching style and the impression she leaves on her students. It would’ve helped to show, not just tell, how influential she really is. Even with that in mind, I have to say I enjoyed writing and developing the Feature Creature piece a bit more than this profile. That project gave me the opportunity to speak with multiple people and gather a range of viewpoints. It felt more dynamic and engaging, as I got to explore a real issue and how it affects different individuals. There was something exciting about the process—interviewing, researching, and piecing it all together. It made me feel like a true reporter, covering something that mattered and shedding light on a topic that often goes unnoticed. Still, the profile assignment had its own charm. I really appreciated the opportunity to sit down with my professor, someone I’ve admired since the beginning of the semester. Our conversation was inspiring: her journey through life, the challenges she overcame, and the passion she brings to her work were all incredibly moving. I’m glad I got to tell part of her story, even if I would do a few things differently next time. The more I write in this class, the more I find myself seriously considering a future in writing. Each assignment pushes me a little closer to seeing myself as a real writer.
