write interesting stories
Put theory into practice during your studies. Write and work as much as you can. Do not forÂget the basic rule: write interesting stories. It is not the famous face in the article that will keep your readers engaged. It is the story.

learn a foreign language

sharing points-of-view

fight for the main values
Devour everything you can read: newspapers and books on history, social sciences and politics. Be passionate about one topic without being a militant. Always keep in mind you have the voice and the knowledge to fight for the main values that are imporÂtant in society.
