You read up on how professionals use social media, and there's a lot more to it than you realized. You realize that it's okay to post about the little stuff, but to really gain followers you need to post regularly, and choose a few themes to write about. You decide to write about what's happening at school. You and your friends go to every basketball game at school--why not write about that?
As a result, your readership grows. People who missed the game are finding out what happened from you, and you're enjoying discussing basketball with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. In recognition, you receive a school spirit award from the school, and a mention in the local paper. You start to think about creating a website about local basketball, once you take that web design course this summer.
You've taken control of your digital footprint, and the skills you've developed in social networking may help you join the journalism or communications field in the future.
