Guest Speaker

Today, we had a guest speaker whom had a wonderful education and an experience of a lifetime. As this speaker shared his experience his passion towards his occupation and his drive towards success inspired me to strive for the things I want even though they may be in far reach. He had explained to us the development of newspapers over time which really sparked my interest. If you refer back to my first post, it was about the death of newspapers. However, much like magazines and newspapers submit corrections, I would like to correct myself. It is not the 'death of newspapers', but the 'change of newspapers'. This speaker really showed me that newspapers are not dying! It is the content that is important. Sure, it is nice to smell the stained coffee and flip the pages, but when you think about it, it truly is the content that will be memorable. He had also motivated me to collect newspapers because they are memorable documents. In conclusion, this speaker had taught me a lot and also made me realize the true importance of the printing press.
