My profile story for JMC 410, was about Michaella McGurk, the founder and captain of the women's club volleyball team at the University of Northern Colorado. It was hard working around a schedule of someone as busy as McGurk, but overall it worked out well and she was a delight to work with. Through e-mails, phone conversations and my invasion of practices, I learned all that it took for her to form the two team club volleyball squad.
Writing about her and her dedication to the sport was an inspiration to get back in it myself and I have actually begun playing volleyball again on Thursday nights with a co-ed team. As for the affect it had on my writing skills, I think her excitement about the game made it easy to relay in my profile how much she loves this sport. Re-writing the profile made me concentrate on ways to be even more concise and work on my punctuation throughout the piece and ensure I was using it to the benefit of the piece on all accounts. In the future, I will do my best to use what mistakes I made in this piece with punctuation and not make them again in other works.
