Requesting projected growth rates for "e-sports." Needed for an introductory newspaper article in hopes for building a strong portfolio to enter undergrad program I recently quit my job at UPS; unfortunately, it began to interfere with my studies at FSU. To supplement my income, I am composing 3 articles to submit to reputable state-wide newspapers, in hopes of closing the financial gap from my job. One covering the possible state-wide and local effects of Amendment two. The second, being the effects of standardized testing on gifted students and teachers. The third will be on the e-sports industry (explaining what it is) and how it redefines the "sports" scene. Many of the projection I have found from researching are very unreliable, or at least,unreliable to be published in reputable newspapers. Much of the "unreliable information" are from blogs. Can you please point me in the direction on how to obtain this information, or, if you're permitted to, send me the projections, or anything closely related to it? With this being said; I am I recent high school graduate in hopes of building a portfolio early.This will help me enter law school after finishing my Associates degree. My plan is to finish out my Associates at FSU and begin my undergrad at Harvard. By having a strong portfolio, published in notable newspapers, this will show that I am a "relevant... and inquisitive individual;" which is part of Harvard's mission statement. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read through this thoroughly, and guiding me through this unexpected bump in the road. Many thanks in advance, James P.S- I already sent in a ticket; I'm trying to cover all avenues :)
