Profile for an online magazine

Scenario:
You have been hired to write a profile for an online magazine. The editor of the magazine
has asked you to find someone interesting but relatable to write about, but who to pick? Finding
a proper subject for the profile essay will likely be the biggest hurdle. Who do you know that is
ordinary yet interesting? Are you in close contact with someone who would be willing to be
interviewed by you and provide you with stories and direct quotes that you could adapt into a
profile essay?
Next, why is this person important? What could you—and your online magazine’s
readers—learn from a day in the life of this person?
