Why Do I Want to be a Journalist?

My love of sports has always been a driving force in my pursuit of a career in the communication/journalism field. It would be my dream job to eventually be an announcer or analyst for ESPN or any major sports network. Of course I am realistic in my goals, and so I also chose the communication field of study because I feel like communicating is a strength of mine that I would like to fully tap into. Language is such a critical tool to have in life, because we use it every day that we are alive. If you cannot communicate effectively, or report what you see effectively, life becomes increasingly difficult, especially as we grow up and have to depend on our communication skills more and more to advance in our lives both professional, as well as socially. So I guess communication and journalism is an interest of mine, and I would like to explore these things in order to help me achieve my goals in life on my career track.
