INTRODUCTORY POST

  Hello! My name is Sadia Shahid and I'm in AS,  a student currently studying at the City School Capital Campus, Islamabad (CCI). I took Media Studies as a subject because I think the subject helps us to put in our ideas and thoughts in a frame of social media, and to express our feelings and emotions into an image without even speaking them out loud. It provides us with entertainment , information and   knowledge, moreover the  subject provides us with opportunities to chose interesting path of careers like filming, directing, advertising, journalism,  etc and equips an individual with necessary skills of reading, writing, thinking, public speaking and much more. I hope I will be able to express my learning, understanding, mistakes and growth as a Media student on this Blog. 🐻         ~Learn continually -there's always            “one more thing” to learn!     ~Steve Jobs~ Hey!!
