Six months ago, I assumed that by now I’d be a few months into my first “big girl” position – accustomed to learning the ropes within the entertainment media industry. Instead, I often contemplate whether my true calling is elsewhere and if I’ll even end up utilizing the knowledge I’ve obtained from the writing courses …
After doing extensive research on the key issues that face Ward 1, I found that the list extends much further than the average metropolitan could even imagine, and even further than the most educated government official’s knowledge base.
