Hello! My name is Laurence Harding and I am a junior Communication major at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

I take a Magazine Writing at UMass where I am connected with the UMass.Internet Journalist and the Journalism Home Page.

The Journalism Home Page consists of links to what's new in the Journalism Department, journalism graduates who have gone on to successful careers in all facets of journalism, the University of Massachusetts Library System and the UMass President's Home Page.

The UMass Library System consists of

The site provides news and information about the library, university library system electronic resources, and an Internet Toolbox that provides Internet users with links to a variety of indexes, lists, directories, and other tools for locating information on the Internet.

The UMass President's Home Page links to the five New England Land Grant Universities:

The Journalism Home Page also links to many news sites, including: CNN, the Boston Globe, the Wall Street Journal and the Reuters/AP Wire.

A journalist writes stories on a deadline and writers like Emily Dickinson write freely expressing inner feelings and emotions. My favorite poems by Emily Dickinson are A Lady Red Upon a Hill and Some Things That Fly There Be. I can relate to writing with a passion because when my grandma Harding died a lot of built up emotion surrounded and suffocated me. I took the opportunity write in a poem to my grandmother what I couldn't tell her in person.

The Emily Dickinson Home Page and many other journalistic, media and education sites can be found in the Journalism Bookmarks.

My interest in journalism began in high school when I used to write short stories about situations I came across in my own life. People kept telling me how much talent I had at describing these situations and that I should presue it and see where it leads me and I did. At Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Massachusetts I took my first journalism course and I owe all of the success I've received to Professor Rose Sergi whose continued knowledge in Reporting and Newswriting in conjunction with The Campus Report (the school's newspaper) taught me everything I know. Getting new stories to write is a challenge I look forward to every day and hopefully someday I can pass that trait down to my own children.

I listed a copy of my work, a listing of the best sports article, published by the Lowell Sun, I have written in my opinion and would appreciate some constructive criticism so if you have any please email me!!!

The most important people in my life are my family, and I believe people should be aware of their roots.
