I settled on journalism as a college major at 19.
I pursued journalism because I believed truth-telling was important work, and I wanted to be a force for good, even if only a very, very small force. I earned a degree in journalism, and I worked in newspapers for nearly a decade.
The experience made me better. It taught me things about life that few other experiences can. Three of them are in this line by lifestyle blogger Tessa Barton in her book, Insta Style. They are: Ask questions, be curious and get embarrassed.
I can tell you from experience that these habits are powerful enough to change a life.
