I am a student at McGill University, where I major in Cultural Studies (a branch of English Lit) and minor in Philosophy. The beginning of this year, I started writing for The McGill Daily, McGill’s oldest newspaper. From this opportunity, I developed the ability to write, in detail, about a variety of topics including culture and current affairs. Furthermore, it taught me how to efficiently communicate with a variety of diverse individuals and foster healthy work relationships.Prior to achieving the position of editor, I was a writer for my school newspaper for three years. Once promoted, I was in charge of deciding the content for each issue and editing the works of numerous students. This position taught me how to remain on-top of current events and learn how to attract my target audience. Furthermore, being editor strengthened my writing skills in terms of grammar and structure. I also improved my ability to work under pressure without comprising the quality of my work. In my graduating year of high school, I won the The Leta Macdonell Currer ’65 Memorial Scholarship for my expertise in writing and studies in English Lit.
