I was twenty years old when I started freelance journalism. I was a college senior who hadn’t yet graduated and hadn’t taken a single formal journalism class. In fact, I had no experience other than working at my college newspaper earlier that year, getting a C in my high school yearbook elective, and in elementary school, reporting on my class’s school field trip. To say that I felt afraid, inexperienced, and a fraud is an understatement.
