As you may have guessed, my name is Corey Johns. I'm a junior at UMBC double majoring in American Studies and Media and Communications Studies. One day I want to become a sports journalist. Sports are my passion. Growing up the son of a soccer coach (dad) and Orioles fanatic (mom), sports were always a major part of my life. I'm working hard to achieve my dream and currently am a sports editor/writer/photographer for The Retriever Weekly. While I also freelance write for WNST.net, my biggest project is UMBC Sports Blog, which I completely run by myself.
Does your mother at least have the comfort of remembering the Orioles' glory days?
ReplyDeleteYes she does. She went to just about every Orioles game for I think nine years including the 1983 World Series
ReplyDeletethat sports blog thing you do by yourself is pretty cool, good luck on it
ReplyDeleteLove the picture, and best of luck becoming sports journalist!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting career path. I would love to try my hand out sports photography (as a hobby), but coming up with the money to purchase the lenses for it would be very difficult.
ReplyDeleteNikon 70-200mm F/2.8 lens goes for more than $2,000.

Haha that's cool. I should start reading The Retriever weekly :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a very big Redskins fan. My whole family is. I grew up on sports. It's cool what your doing. I might just start reading The Retriever Weekly.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you're already freelancing. I would really like to be a music journalist. I'm just a freshman this year, so I'm working on getting on The Retriever Weekly..
