Topic: Role of Campus Journalism in Disaster Preparedness
A writer can be a savior too.
Last year, there are many calamities that hit our country. And yet, we are not ready for that. Following precautionary measures are easy to say but in this case it’s hard to do. No one knows when a storm will come. Or even an earthquake. So how can a writer be a savior too? First of all, writers don’t only write. They give information to each one of us. They make us aware of our surroundings. And for that reason, they can save a life too.
Last year, a tropical typhoon named Ondoy hit our country. What did the rest of us do? We are not well-informed. That’s why many lives were taken. Some are missing. Maybe someone is even left out there finding hope if someone could just lend a hand to him or her.
However, a sudden earthquake shocked the whole country of Haiti leaving a tragic destruction to the said area. Like the Ondoy, this is much unexpected to come. All of these natural disasters just proved that they have an unfinished business on visiting a certain place. Nature already gave enough signs to make us aware, to make us more careful. Maybe if we could just hold on together and make a much better world, we can overcome every obstacle along the way.
A young writer has a role. We write from our heart to either save or satisfy the reader.
So as a young writer, a young journalist, I write facts and information. And I can proudly say that I can save someone’s life. #
