Nick Samuel – A Look Into My Life
I am a senior mass communications (broadcast journalism) major at Jackson State University that loves to write. I am originally from Chicago, Il., and have one sister and one brother, both of whom also attend JSU. I attended St. Eulalia elementary school, St. Joesph high school, Lanier high school, and now I’m at JSU finishing up this last year. My mom is a Jackson, MS. native and Jackson State University alumni, and so are many of my other family members from Mississippi.
At Jackson State University I am very involved on campus. I am a member of many organizations such as Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, the Blue and White Flash Newspaper Staff and Experience Magazine Staff, Maddrama Club, Outspoken Club, The Illinois Club, Tiger P.R.I.D.E. member, and Medgar Evers Lodge 697 member. Working with the Blue and White Flash, I have interviewed celebrities such as David Banner, Jacki-O, Twista, C-Murder, Warren G, and Shawty-Lo.
I am also a member of a music industry designed for college students called Grammy U. I am currently trying to get a chapter started at JSU so students can be exposed to the music industry and how things work. Working for this industry, I have attended sound checks, kick off parties, and even had the chance to go to AL Green’s old studio and meet his producer Boo Mitchell.
Recently, I have had the opportunity to work for the Clarion Ledger for an internship. I have already been writing stories and recently had a story published in the Sept. 27th issue of the paper called “The Battle of the Bands.” From working at the Clarion Ledger, I hope to gain many connections in the journalism field as well as gain the proper training I need to become a successful journalist. I eventually plan on working there in the near future. I just hope that the world is ready to hear what I have to say.
