IS MY WRITING GOOD?

It's a good start, funny when the Sofia hit Ling in the head with a shoe, and amusing over the scoffing incident in the car. I'm sure you're learn more about story-telling, for instance descriptive writing - let the reader see, smell, hear, taste, and feel what you write. It's painting a word picture so that the reader "sees" what you are describing. For example:
The thick, burnt scent of roasted coffee tickled the tip of my nose just seconds before the old, faithful alarm blared a distorted top-forty through its tiny top speaker. Wiping away the grit of last night's sleep, the starch white sunlight blinded me momentarily as I slung my arm like an elephant trunk along the top of the alarm, searching for the snooze button. While stretching hands and feet to the four posts of my bed, my eyes opened after several watery blinks. I crawled out of the comforter, edging awkwardly like a butterfly from a cocoon, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. The dusty pebbles on the chilled, wood floor sent ripples spiraling from my ankles to the nape of my neck when my feet hit the floor. Grabbing the apricot, terri-cloth robe, recently bathed in fabric softener and October wind, I knotted it tightly at my waist like a prestigious coat of armor and headed downstairs to battle the morning.
(keep writing your good stories) ☺

Sorry I am a journalist too and you said you want to go into journalism, then you ask us to read not an article but a sort of long story. I am not a judge for that and I have no time for it. Write an article and I will tell you what I make of it...

I'm a newspaper editor. Actually, what you want to ask is if your writing is good. But it's not journalism. So please reformulate your question or submit some straight news that we can assess for the 5Ws (who, what, where, when, why) and if your first paragraph (called the lede) is sharp, informative and intriguing.
If you're more interested in feature writing the above also applies, though in different places of piece.
Travel writing? Same.
Keep at it.

You must first improve your language - grammar and style - first if you choose a writing profession.. Also stroy writing is not journalism... You first be clear about your interest and choose your profession carefully.

In your question, you misspelled opinion and criticize.
If you are going to be a good writer, you ought to check your
spelling and punctuation. Also your I's are not capitalized.
They should have been.
