You would be surprised at the amount of vivid experiences and inspiration that can be infused into nineteen years of life. Although just old enough to be considered an adult, I feel like my childhood was abandoned a long time ago, leaving me in a perplexing state of discontent. Apart from being presented with an unusual university assessment, rarely would I passionately express my views, thoughts and philosophies on the world in fear of sounding somewhat tiresome and fanatical. I find it ironic that people are encouraged to stand up for what they believe in and ‘dare to be different’, however in embracing their individuality they set themselves up to be ridiculed, humiliated and silenced. I have learnt that I cannot afford to stay silent - I will not stand by and let the world destruct itself any further.
Hi there, my name is Jasmine Rose Kazlauskas and welcome to my blog. I guess this is the part where I tell you a bit about myself, you know - the generic facts. About the last name - i'm from ze Eastern vlock, ie Easten Europe. Yep, i've got Russian, Lithuanian, Polish.. a lovely mutt of cultures as well as Australian, whatever that is supposed to be defined as. However, that is an issue for another post entirely. I have the best mother anyone could ask for, I love to travel, I like the colour red, I can speak Indonesian, I love foreign films, I think Johnny Depp and Leonardo Di Caprio are still beautifully attractive, I love to write and take photos, and last, but most importantly, my name is Jasmine and I want to make a difference in this world.

This, my friends, is the reason why I am taking a journalism/arts degree at the University of Queensland. It is my hope that by learning the best ways to write and present factual pieces of interesting news, interviews and investigative and revealing articles, I can fullfull my passion of eradicating, or helping to eradicate inequalities. I believe the best way to do this is by bringing awareness through journalism, some of the worlds ongoing, current and future issues. Journalism will be my chance to travel to places unheard of, to capture scenes of inhumanity and write about it to an uncaring world, in the hope that when I when I hit people hard enough with reality, they will feel the blow and make a difference before they begin to bruise.
