Grace under pressure

This week was great! On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to shadow Nefertiti Jaquez as she covered a story about a man who police say stood in the woods of a neighborhood and randomly shot at people as they went by. Also, Jaquez interviewed a family whose car was shot at by the man as they were returning home. To make matters worse, there was a 19 month old baby in the car during the incident, but everyone was fine. During the interview, it was evident to feel the family's love for one another and gratefulness for being together. 

On Thursday, I had the opportunity to shadow Nicole Carr as she covered a story about an eight year-old girl who went missing from her apartment, and police later ruled the case as a homicide. The story never ceased to develop to the point that Carr had to completely ad-lib her stand-up. You would have thought she had plenty of time to think it out. Carr was so smooth and fluid that I was in complete shock over how put together she was and how she completely demonstrated grace under pressure, excellence and professionalism. 

With being in a new month, new opportunities are on the way. Please continue to keep me in your prayers while I am on this new journey.
