NickD15,
I think it's great that you know what you want to do and are taking steps to make that happen. I commend you. I thought I wanted to be a journalist when I was in high school, but it turned it while I loved writing, journalism was not my niche. I found my passion in writing fiction and wrote a novel that I sell on amazon. As a writer find your passion and tone your skills. Best of luck!
Take care,
