Joining Youthink Magazine Was An Eye-Opener For Me

Joining Youthink magazine was an eyeopener for me. I moved to Canada in 2006 and I had no idea what youth in Canada perceived as hip and cool in music, fashion and celebrity gossip. I isolated myself when I was at school because I felt like I didn't belong. Then, one day as I was sitting near the library, I picked up a magazine. I was so amazed at the intellect behind the name Youthink. I was shocked to find out that there were people in those magazines who had the same taste in music and fashion as I did. I began writing articles for Youthink. My 1st article was about an athlete at our school. I ended up receiving $50 to The Dog's Ear and this motivated me to write more. Although no money was involved in writing for Youthink, every time people picked up the magazine and highlighted my name from one of the pages, I felt like a celebrity. No longer was I the loner in the Library corner but, a writer - a Youthink writer!
