Why do you love your job? I love hearing people's stories and sharing them with others. I think that's what's amazing about journalism - to be able to find the story behind each person and link people through experiences. Before I write an article, I have an idea of how the story will go. And almost as many times, something said by the person will spark a better and more interesting angle. It's their stories, not mine. It's only my job to put their stories on paper for others to hear.
