Kritiek begint als eerst bij vrienden, familieleden en kennissen

Het komt voor dat vrienden, kennissen en familieleden mij benaderen als het gaat om mijn specialiteit in de media & journalistiek.  De vergelijking en druk die ze leggen op mij is niet één waar ik naar kan leven.  Luisteren naar diverse podcasts als #FreelanceLeven heeft mij inzicht gegeven dat journalisten er voor moeten waken dat …

Being the first lady has nothing to do with being the wife of the president. Yes, that is usually the title given to the wife of the man who became the president of a country.

  2. I am the first and oldest granddaughter of my grandparents
  3. I have a surname that starts with an A- the first letter of the alphabet
  4. I have always been first in line, because of my surname in class
  5. I have been used as example in a negative as well as a positive sense
  6. I have been the first in most of my successes, heartbreaks and endeavors.
