Immense Text

My biggest flaw about writing correctly is that I always try to sound really intelligent. To sound intelligent you have to use big words right? Well, I am not too good at spelling, especially big words.
I feel like Joey on Friends in the episode where he is trying to come off as smarter than he actually is by using the thesaurus to change every word he uses when he speaks. Needless to say his friends told he actually sounded dumber than before.
I know that my highschool prepared me for this kind of writing because I took the initiative to be in yearbook. My yearbook advisor was the one who taught me how to write journalistic. She also entered me into UIL journalism competitions, and I actually placed once.
As a yearbook staff, we took many trips to journalism conventions. Our advisor was also a national advisor, so we were expected to always be at the conventions. During the conventions, the best journalist from around the nation would come and speak to young high school journalist like me. I would always think they were really interesting becuase I knew it was the field I wanted to enter.
