I am a graduate of Mass Communication in a certain University. when i was young i really wanted and dreamed of becoming a broadcast journalist. unfortunately, i wasn’t able to practice it because of many reasons. “Underpaid, Underfire and Underpressure”. it is true! But i still have plans of pursuing it, this is my passion and it’s my calling.
