O.o A desperate senior needs your help!!!!!!?
Can someone help me revise this and come up with a good creative title ? thank you =]
I want to become a traveling journalist. As a journalist I will be able to combine my three loves: culture, food and writing. I will be able to eat different cuisine, learn about dances and customs and then tell the rest of world about my experiences. Although I do not have experience in journalism per se, I have two years worth experience in creative writing and have explored genres like the personal essay and interview profile. In college I plan on getting an internship in order to gain the proper work experience I need. I understand that I need to work my way up the ladder and may not reach my goals for many years.
Writing is my passion; not only is it a passion, it is also a skill that I can use in my future. I will not allow myself to be content in giving up everything I ever wanted to work at a desk job in an office in the middle of “We’d Rather Be Somewhere Else, Land.” Instead of twitching in my seat, while my co-workers think I have Tourette syndrome, wishing I could dance in Japan, scuba dive in Cuba, or live with a tribe in the East Indies, I want to be the one to experience everything and then write about it. I will be seeing, tasting, feeling, hearing and living the universe with every nerve and with every bit of passion in my body and heart. I am intrigued by the “whys” of things. Things like the changing definition of beauty; for example, the Kayan women in Thailand and Burma wear rings around their necks from an age as early as five, as a symbol of beauty and womanhood.
I have a hard time putting my dreams on the back burner. There are always things that will block my progress, but I am too stubborn to let them keep me from achieving my goals; there is no limit to what I can do. I have a natural curiosity that will take me far in this profession. Also I am passionate about my writing and will strive to gain knowledge in every aspect of my life.
Update:It's for a Scholarship detailing my future career goals and It is supposed to one page double spaced. I'm not sure if that includes the title or not.

You have written mostly about what you want to bring you personal satisfaction.
I would be more effective to write about how your proposed work would help to improve living conditions in some part of the world where you wish to work.
