Keep on keeping on

I learned and grew a lot within this week. On Monday, I had the opportunity to shadow anchor/reporter Linda Stouffer as she covered a story about a veteran's cemetery in Atlanta that is covered by trees and grass. To honor the veterans, Bridging the Gap of Georgia and others in the community came together to discuss how to clean and beautify the area. This will be an ongoing project. 

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to work with Stouffer again on a story about the Great Wolf Lodge indoor water resort coming to LaGrange. Although, this day was a little different. Stouffer stayed at the station and sent the photographer and me on the story. I was in charge of interviewing the city mayor and a local business owner. This experience gave me a taste of being a reporter and going out on my own. 

In addition, I am narrowing down and editing  the stories that I want to turn into packages. On July 27, also known as the day before my birthday, but I digress, I will be participating in the 30 minute student newscast, which gives interns the opportunity to anchor and display our packages. Please continue to keep me in your prayers on this journey. I am excited for what lies ahead.
