@roycroftmom good point on switching majors. Believe it or not he is very good at public speaking. His speeches were phenomenal…very informative and lively. I do not however see him as a media journalist. I see him as more of a writer. Perhaps for a political based platform where he can marry his writing with his love of History and new found love of politics, If he doesn’t go the journalism route (or it is not offered English or History are good back-ups for him.
I tried to get him to join the Debate of Constitution team but he really likes his down time so that never happened. I do however have a friend whose husband is a writer for a Chicago paper and also writes books and runs the College newspaper at Loyola University. I am talking to him about mentoring my son. He is a great guy and they both share a love of writing and history so I’m hoping my son can learn something or at least be inspired.
