In addition to his blog, White received recognition for his writing skill in 2010 through an essay contest on the United Nation's Law of the Sea Treaty. With that, he had the opportunity of traveling to U.N. headquarters in New York City as well as the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. "That was such a rewarding experience for me," White said, "and I believe it strengthened my understanding of writing in any career field that I pursue."
When he is not concentrating on his studies, he has several other interests: college basketball, musical performance, and children's ministry; all of which he has considered as possible career paths. For the moment, White has planned on finishing his studies at N.C. State and enrolling in a graduate program to continue studying journalism.
With his blog, White hopes to educate his readers on the many issues going on in the world. He also allows readers to chime in with their own comments. He also posts some fun things such as profiles on new music, "Oops Awards," as he calls them, as well as movie reviews. "I want to create an atmosphere with this blog that allows my readers to engage in issues pertaining to the world around them," White said.
