Where Are We Going

This week was terrific! On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to shadow reporter Nicole Carr as she covered a story about the drought in Ball Ground, Georgia. We constantly laughed because we did not know what to expect from a place called "Ball Ground." Carr interviewed Ball Ground's city manager and a meat and produce store worker. After Carr went live for the 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscast, Carr, Dave Darling, an extraordinary photographer, and I celebrated National Selfie Day by taking a selfie. 

On Thursday, I had the opportunity to shadow reporter Richard Elliot with fellow intern Jolie as he covered a story about a former school police lieutenant who made his first court appearance after shooting and killing one K-9 and leaving another in a hot patrol car. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to help with "The Bachelor" and " The Bachelorette" casting call at the station. There were 187 men and women who auditioned for the show. I thought about filling out an application , but I am not 21 yet. It looks like I will not be finding my Michelle Obama on television this year, but I digress. 

I am noticing that I am becoming more comfortable as a young journalist. I am learning so much from every person I encounter and have the opportunity to shadow. I know that this is where I am supposed to be.
