About the Author
Hi! My name is Jonathan Pham and I am currently a Junior at the University of Maryland. I started my first two years in community and transferred over so this would be my first year at UMD. I'm currently majoring in Information Science. For work, I'm a car salesman at Ford and Lincoln.
On the right is a picture of my cat Moonie. He's the most talkative cat and whines when I don't give him attention. I have two other ones but Moonie is for sure my favorite. Some interesting things about me is that I like to go to the gym, I like to rave and I love playing video games. A typical weekend for me is sleeping in. I come from a family of five and I'm the oldest child. Besides taking this class so I can get my credits, I actually enjoy journaling. I write a lot in my journal but when my hands get tired, I'll journal on my phone or laptop.
Journaling is something I picked up a couple years ago. It helps me figure my mind out and get a clear view on what it is exactly is going on through my brain. I think it's a great outlet for just needing to vent or even just talking about literally anything. It's versatility is something that appeals to me since I can be creative with whatever it is I need to write.

My favorite food is sushi and coming in close at second is steak. I have an unhealthy addiction to sushi and spend way too much money eating it. My favorite rolls are dragon rolls and tempura rolls. I recently started liking volcano rolls as well. I wasn't a huge fan of cream cheese on sushi until I tried it on the volcano roll and it's safe to say that I always order it. To me, sushi is one of those foods that I couldn't live without. I would say that I'm a pretty big foodie. I love to eat and it's genuinely one the biggest delicacies in life. Besides sushi, I'm also addicted to Korean BBQ. These two food categories are the reason why my bank account is so low.

As I take JOUR 150, I have a ton of things that I'd like to learn more about in regards to media. I want to learn how to journal better. For example, I want to learn how to organize/structure my blogs (this is my first blog) and also make them more appealing. Some questions that I have is can journaling be a career that pays well? I love writing and I am always talking about something so doing something like this for a living is something that I would love to do. I also wonder what career paths open up with journaling. I know about bloggers and people who publish news but I am curious as to what other routes someone like me can take in this field. Another thing that I'm curious about is how much freedom do I have with blogging and how creative I can be with my blogs.
