MASS COMMUNICATION WAS A CHOICE I MADE... NOT MY PLAN B!
<p>I am a Mass Communication student.</p><p><br/></p><p>And somehow, some people hear that and immediately assume you ended up here because you could not make it into Law.</p><p><br/></p><p>Biko, who told you that?! 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>I applied for Mass Communication in JAMB.</p><p><br/></p><p>I chose it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wanted it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I got it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nobody transferred me here because I failed to make it to Law.</p><p><br/></p><p>And honestly, I am tired of seeing Mass Communication treated like the course people settle for when they cannot get into the “high” courses.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some people hear Mass Communication and the first thing they think is, “So you just talk?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Or, “You will become a journalist?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Or that look that says, “At least you tried.” 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, we are learning journalism, broadcasting, public relations, advertising, research, writing, media production, communication theories and so much more.</p><p><br/></p><p>We read.</p><p><br/></p><p>We research.</p><p><br/></p><p>We write.</p><p><br/></p><p>We interview.</p><p><br/></p><p>We report.</p><p><br/></p><p>We communicate.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yes, we use our voices, but there is a whole lot more behind that voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone wants their story told.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every organisation needs to communicate.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every profession needs the media.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every society needs information.</p><p><br/></p><p>So why should the people trained to handle all of these things be looked down on?</p><p><br/></p><p>I am not saying Mass Communication is better than Law, Medicine, Engineering, Nursing, Pharmacy or any other course.</p><p><br/></p><p>I respect every profession.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I will not disrespect mine just because somebody thinks theirs sounds more important.</p><p><br/></p><p>I did not “end up” in Mass Communication.</p><p><br/></p><p>I chose Mass Communication.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I am proud of that choice.</p><p><br/></p><p>Proudly a Mass Communication student.</p><p><br/></p><p>Unapologetically.</p><p><br/></p><p>Loudly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Without shame.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because if everybody wants to be important, somebody still has to tell the story. And I am proud to be learning how to do just that.</p>
