Unique Journalist

It's one thing hearing about critical times and another having to live it. We have all heard stories about periods or countries having experienced numerous discomfort or danger. Though Diana never thought in her wildest dreams, it would become her reality too - especially in an advanced country such as the UK, London. Freedom and free will, something we value dearly and don't usually give much thought to as it is automatically given what with being in advanced countries, had become quite limited due to a hazardous virus called COVID 19. A virus that has possibly originated from China and caused too much disturbance around the globe. Towards the end of March 2020 was when Diana's lifestyle began to change drastically due to covid restrictions - the daily activities she would do and the freedom she had was no longer accessible.  Due to the new rules put in place by the government and family concerns, Diana had to stay indoors more than usual - not go out to the gym, meet up w...

London, the 18 long ridiculous hours in the summer. The sun boiling, increasing thirst and dehydration - having to survive without food and drink throughout the daylight, affecting only a minority group: the Muslims.  They are expected to be active and deal with the stressful yet life-changing exams. Quite recently, concerns were raised in two news outlets, expressing that students should make an exception to avoid low grades and the exam timetable should take into consideration the month of fasting. “It’s a habit taking a bottle of water into the exam”, said, Anjuma Rahman, a student recalling her time in her sixth form.  Initially, one would think it would be unbearable for students to cooperate during exam times while fasting throughout the month of Ramadan, a sacred month for the Muslims and living in a country where it only applies to a minority. The initial thought of them having pale faces, worn-out expressions with a slouched body language. Surprisingly, though...

At some point in our lives, we all have kept a diary - penning our deepest thoughts and secrets. A move that aids many to pour out their hearts and feel like they can turn to something to relive the sorrow or tension they may encounter. As a matter of fact, certain diary entries have even become part of history, including the infamous Diary of Anne Frank - a girl from Germany, informing the world of her trials & tribulations during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. These written entries - a collection of people's thoughts could be enlightening, amusing and fun to know or read. Hence Diana like several others has penned her most impactful and memorable moments throughout the years, wanting to inspire, encourage, motivate or enlighten the world, especially those classified as being 'unique'. Thus, without further ado 'UniqueJournalist' presents a selective few:           Dear Diary,       ...

The year is 2019, almost a year since I graduated from University. As usual, I was trying to find an exciting, fun and, relevant job - ideally a paid position. In the meantime, I was working with Legends Report - an inspirational online Magazine mainly based on inspirational legends. I had been with them for a while, and as it was an unpaid role, I kept seeking a paid one in the process. That's when I came across a job that would boost my confidence even further, transform my perception of myself, the daily challenges and the slight fears which I've had about the employment industry or life overall. This job somehow gave me the reassurance I was searching for after graduation. It expanded my network, and I got to meet pleasant individuals, beginning with the management team to the interviewer scouts - all was an absolute delight. They made me feel welcomed and involved. Initially, though, I was slightly hesitant in conducting the role, but after a few discussions with the ...

Three years of hardcore concentration, tears, and constant hard work to obtain a BA degree and become a qualified journalist, a profession Diana longed for since acknowledging the value of education and realizing her potentials. She put a lot of effort into ensuring she succeeds and eventually graduates with a good grade. Diana is optimistic and has a positive approach towards nearly everything she does, including obtaining a degree and finding a job within her field of study. At the same time, she was still aware that accomplishing such a desire would not be that straightforward. Nonetheless, she never imagined it would be too draining and almost impossible either. It has become widely known that graduating with a degree does not guarantee a job relevant to the field of study. People like Diana feel the pressure of this even more as she not only has to fight her way through the employment industry, she has to deal with being 'unique' and persuade the hiring companies that s...

Being the First Lady of The United States of America is quite something - having the world at your feet and getting the best of everything, enjoying the VIP treatment and lifestyle, mingling with dignitaries all over the world in an atmosphere of complete comfort and luxury. This is a life many would crave yet few experience. However, this is something which former First Lady, Michelle Obama is relieved to have left behind after her and Barack Obama left the White House in 2017. She is now concentrating on pursuing her goals and making a difference beyond the often restrictive White House walls. With her long-awaited memoir ‘Becoming’ creating a buzz in UK and US, the former First Lady reminds us of the importance to keep on fighting for ...

She is sitting high up on a gentle comfy bed with casual yet stylish clothes surrounded by books, a table and computer with a relaxed posture and a smiley expression drawn on her face. It’s a total contrast from just a year ago when she was tolerating starvation, thirst and, the cold. Aisha Sharifi, afghan, was one of one million illegal migrants who came to Europe in 2015 to seek safety. The migration crisis became one of the top stories since 2015. “I regretted it so much because I saw the risk of death every situation”, she said, concerning the daunting experience. Aisha left her beloved Afghanistan, as she was receiving threats and travelled to Pakistan, feeling anxious as it was travelling illegally. Once Aisha entered Iran her and her family got divided up into two cars and only Aisha’s car got stopped by the Iranian police. Her heart was beating rapidly. “When the Iranian police caught us I cried because they were permitted to shoot us", she recalled, calmly. She was...
