Hello! These are some reasons why you should consider joining the Journalism club next year and not be scared. It’s pretty fun because you can write your own article about almost anything you are interested in,you can be an artist too! It’s okay if you’re scared to join, everyone there is really nice! But let me share my experience of when I first joined Journalism. When I first joined the Journalism Club .I was pretty scared at first since I didn’t know anyone in the Journalism Club,and I was the only 3rd grader surrounded by fourth and fifth graders, as well as middle school students. We meet every Tuesday until 3:30. Slowly I began to know all the members of the club. I started to look forward to our meetings and felt excited to share my ideas and articles with the club. One of my first articles that was posted on “Noticias De 218” was “Pumpkin picking at the farm”. I was so happy my article was on Noticias de 218. My second article that was posted in Noticias de 218 was “Valentine’s Day”.Also,Journalism Club started helping me to get good at writing,like very good!I was so glad to be in the Journalism club.Now,I almost know everyone in the Journalism club,but then a 3rd grader came to Journalism!I still don’t know if she might be in the Journalism Club or not,but I’m happy to not be the only 3rd grader at least!I made some friends at the Journalism club too!I promise you that next year you can make new friends in the Journalism club too!You will get used to it and not be afraid.And shoutout to the Journalism club for helping me write better.
