iliad Literary-Art Magazine Editor-in-Chief Olivia Hendershot reflects on her time in the ODYSSEY Media Group.
My time in the ODYSSEY Media Group will stick with me as I journey through life as a young adult. I’m scared of venturing into the unknown, but through this program, I’ve learned the skills necessary to succeed, or at least skills not many people benefit from so early in their lives.
I started my time as a Journalism I student and then the Social Media Coordinator for the iliad Literary-Art Magazine. I’m glad that the iliad exists within the ODYSSEY Media Group because, as an artistically driven person, I was worried the skills I would learn in the ODYSSEY would have no use for me, but I found that to be false.
I’m really glad that, along with these skills, I’ve met some amazing people who have become my closest friends and have helped me succeed in this program.
I’ve learned how to be a leader, designer, writer, public speaker and so much more. I can confidently see myself succeeding in any future work I pursue, which eases some of the stress I have as I graduate from high school.
I’m really glad that, along with these skills, I’ve met some amazing people who have become my closest friends and have helped me succeed in this program. The community within both publications is like no other, and I wish everyone could experience something like that in their lifetime.
