King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center hosts panel, films to discuss Spanish economic crisis

I made my print debut in a North American newspaper today, with an article on the Indignados movement in Spain. Last week, I became a contributing writer for the Washington Square News, NYU's student newspaper.

As I walked down Broadway on my way home from the WSN office yesterday afternoon, I couldn't help thinking that I really had achieved something I was proud of. I first visited NYU and decided to apply here in July 2011, and obviously I had wanted to write for newspapers for years, even at that stage. We hear and read so much about people trying to achieve their goals that I feel we rarely hear from those who set a goal and followed it through. Sometimes, it's hard with longitudinal goals to step back and realize you've made progress, but as I sit by Washington Square Park (what passes as a campus here at NYU) with a copy of the WSN, I can't help but feel like I've achieved something.
