Updated Self-ratings on the Qualities and Skills of a Media Writer
After one semester of staying here in the College of Development Communication, I have to admit that there are certain changes that happened in my life. Changes that challenged my individuality, and changes that contributed to my own character development. Here is my updated self-ratings on the qualities and skills of a media writer:

After taking DEVC 10 and DEVC 11, My qualities in terms of being industrious, intelligent and loves to read improved. The exercises and activities made me realize that deadlines are very important for journalists. Time is precious most especially for the audience who needs the information that your output has. Being on time to pass your articles is also equals to them knowing the information at the right time and in the right place. All of the improvements in my qualities are all credited to my professors. They taught me a lot of things about how things work in the field of development communication that made me love more this craft.
