Profile of a classmate.

Recently I had the pleasure to interview a fellow classmate by the name of Jennifer Culhane. Jennifer,who was originally pursuing a major in the field of English,is now concentrating on a degree in Journalism. Graduating from ICA (Immaculate Conception Academy),her mother's alma mater and father's preference as oppossed to public schooling,Jennifer found inspiration at the hands of Nany Kaplan-Biegel,the newspaper editor and Journalism porfessor at Skyline Community College,and found herself drawn to Journalsim rather than English as a potential future major. After achieving her degree Jennifer hopes to work in the field or print journalism,focusing mainly on seriously newsworthy magazines (National Geographic as oppossed to simple tabloid print) and to someday travel the world and relay what she learns to others via her writing. Jennifer's ultimate inspiration to write comes from her mother,who encouraged her writing as a child and fostered it as Jennifer grew into the woman that she is today.

I enjoyed learning some new things about Jennifer. One correction I'd like to make is that I'm not the newspaper editor. (It's a student-run publication.) I'm the adviser. But nice profile!
