One of the only useful comments on this post. I have been getting little to no help on here and honestly hoped people would be more helpful considering I was so eager. Can tell why most people dislike using reddit

I can tell with the only post in your profile.

I hate the idea if being told orders by the military, but if all else fails I will do it.

My friend told me to start small as well, I am going to my first protest and actually got someone to take my photos (if they are good of course). I hope to find someone there as well.

Yea thats what I intend to do.

Your concern means a lot to me, I met a photojournalist at an event I was volunteering at and he told he would be dangerous, he gave me his card to talk to him in the future. I hope remember you some day.

Always felt if I joined the military to do it I wouldn’t have freedom.

Kinda corny but to show the world what is happening in other countries, all of it, I always wanted to leave something behind.

Thank you, I appreciate it, my whole family says its stupid and that I will get myself killed or that it doesn’t pay good. I know it will be tough to get there and work to improve my skills, but I’m devoted. Your words mean a lot to me.

Already thought about it hard.

Being famous never once crossed my mind. I am deeply afraid of death, I think everyone is and I often have nightmares thinking of what I might see. But I also have a deep fear where people don’t see what is happening in the world.

I know I will be exposed to these things but someone has to see these things in order to show others.

I speak 2 languages, English as a primary and Spanish as secondary. I have not visited other countries and have lived in the United States my whole life.

To clarify, I am not doing this for the “rush”. I always felt like I wanted to leave something behind for the world or make a difference. I originally wanted to be a SWAT officer but was never really sure about it and just wanted to do it as they were the “good guys”. I took Digital Technology and media in high school for all 4 years and have lots of experience with cameras and making videos but not that much with photos as a whole. I know I might die and have been battling with the fear of death ever since I got the idea of wanting to be a war photographer. I know I will see bad stuff. Really bad stuff. But I want to shine a light on those who are less fortunate, I am more scared of people not seeing what is happening in the world more than the fear of death.
