This article is about how people think taking journalism in high school helps you in college. Studies found that students involved with journalism had higher grade point averages. Studies also found that students in their first year of college who were involved in journalism not only had higher grade point averages, but they also scored higher in their first english course. What this article is basically saying is how important journalism is because it prepares you for college and greatly increases your english skills, which I agree with.
This article relates to my own experience because I am in a journalism class right now. It's good to find out how important it is to be learning this stuff. It shows that I'll be better prepared for college and have better success in future english classes. I have noticed that I have to try extra hard in journalism and study more than I normally would in order to do well, which relates to this article. This extra work is surely preparing me for university where I'll have to try this hard in every single class in order to do well. Thats why this article relates to myself.
I agree with the article because it's statistics, it's probably true and it comes from a reliable source. All the people involved with the study are professionals which makes it believable. I also think it makes sense because of the types of things you learn about in journalism, and how it takes deeper thinking to get the correct answers. This helps prepare for future education down the road which is very important.
