A quote that's stuck with me throughout my life is, "Nothing in this life worth having comes easy." Despite my constant procrastination (yes, I'm a saggitarius), I work hard and get things done.

G'day, I'm Cherileigh! A 17-year-old Ryerson journalism student. Originally, I'm from Brampton but I recently moved to Toronto.

I love to read and my favourite book is Stolen by Lucy Christopher. However, I'm obsessed with fashion magazines (Nylon, Russh, Vogue, British Vogue, etc.) and keeping on top with the latest trends.

In my career, I want to hear different perspectives people have to share, and then publish a piece for the whole world to see.

I believe journalism is an effective way to help people, as well as, influence others through my articles. I will inform the public to be more aware to the best of my abilities.

Personally and professionally, I will always treat people with respect and express myself by making ethical decisions.

One type of journalism that I would like to pursue is feature writing for magazines. I believe journalism is my passion because I'm always up-to-date with the news and persistent to know more.
