English and History were my favorite subjects in school.
News is history unfolding, and writing about the news can be challenging.
I've always enjoyed writing. When I was in high school I joined the school newspaper. It was a very small high school and five of us produced the newspaper. I remember riding the New York City subways, rushing to get to the printer in time to meet our deadline. That's when I decided that I'd like a career in what I envisioned as the fast-paced world of journalism.
