This spring semester, The Argus welcomed eight cub reporters coming from a variety of majors, backgrounds, and expectations. One month has elapsed since their admission. So far, they have engaged in weekly training sessions and interviewing and writing articles for this May issue. The Argus asked why they applied to The Argus and what they hope to accomplish through The Argus.

Yoo Seo-yeon

I applied for The Argus cub reporter hoping to write an article, which is a more active kind of writing because I have to cover a case directly through interview or field investigation. Also I think constant practice to organize logical paragraphs through reading articles or materials written in English will help me a lot especially to grow my writing skills in English. I expect to have a valuable time as one of The Argus members and I will participate in all of The Argus activities sincerely and perform my duty responsibly.

Ever since I subscribed to TIME magazine and read articles about world news, I have always had a thought of wanting to write something that is not for homework. When I found out that there is an English newspaper at HUFS called The Argus, I signed up right away. Now that I am a cub reporter at The Argus, I want to write articles that cast light upon HUFSans’ complaints and the problems of HUFS to further help school community improve and become more transparent. In the coming years, I want to polish my English writing skills and publish meaningful articles.

The Argus gave me a chance to join the best English-based on-campus journalism institute. This means a lot since the national/international situations are dramatically shifting. I applied for The Argus to take on tremendous responsibilities to represent HUFS and its people, on behalf of the people aspiring for better tomorrow. I take a lot of pride in doing something substantial and just, and I would be delighted to dedicate myself to the cause of social justice.

Ever since I was little, communicating with others has been a big part of my life. And I have always wanted to improve my writing skills in order to connect with people more effectively. That is why I believe being a part of The Argus will open doors to the world around us, and will offer some intelligent and empowered thinking, as well as improve my English. Those are obviously what I love most about working here. I am so excited about everything to come here at The Argus!

I applied for The Argus because I wanted to do something very meaningful. Being a part of The Argus, I hope I can convey the important news of HUFS and I can improve my English skills. With The Argus, I want to grow up by meeting many people and thinking about various issues. Being a reporter of The Argus seems a little bit hard but I am sure that it will be worthful. I will be loyal and devoted to The Argus so that I can be a competent journalist.

Ryu Soo-yeon

The reason why I applied for The Argus is because my dream is to be a reporter. In addition, writing articles means providing information to people, and I wanted to help students in doing so. Of course I know l should try harder because my English ability is much worse than other students. But l look forward to its improvement through work at The Argus. Lastly, I want to work together and make something with many good seniors and colleagues at The Argus.

Yoon Sun-ha

I used to read The Argus and found out that The Argus to be one of the media that talks about HUFS and our students. And it has a special meaning in that all HUFS students including foreigners feel free to read it. So I desired to join The Argus, with the thought that I can hear the voices of HUFSans and even change something by telling the truth through articles. Also, The Argus can be valuable opportunity for me to get guidance from seniors and develop myself. Although I am immature in everything now, I will make an effort with the goal of writing the best articles. I am really excited now.

Park Beom-ju

Being a journalist in The Argus was my first wish when I entered HUFS.
The black poster that was written by a senior reminded me that I hoped to enter The Argus. I thought it was tough to be a member, and it is a challenge to me yet. However, I would be proud to deliver our college’s news, and share some meaning with my fellow students through the pains that our members undertook to write an article. I will be the hardest working journalist trying to share our precious story.
