Not stopping

This week was full of learning and excitement. On Monday, I had the opportunity to shadow anchor/reporter Wendy Corona as she covered a story about police officers who are receiving love and support from citizens in the midst of all the recent tragedy in the country. It was awesome to hear stories of people praying and caring for police officers instead of turning to violence and hatred. When this story was presented during the morning meaning, I immediately fell in love with it. I love having the opportunity to hear stories of people coming together in spite of hardships. It is inspiring and gives me confirmation of the stories I want to tell during my career. 

On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to shadow reporter Tom Jones as he covered the court hearing of rapper Rick Ross and his personal manager who are facing charges including kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated assault after the two allegedly got into a heated confrontation with two of Ross' groundskeepers who had guest in Ross' guest home without his permission. Ross and his personal manager's legal defense teams asked the judge for immunity from prosecution on the charges because Ross and his manager said they were defending themselves. The judge did not make a decision whether to drop the charges or send the case to trial. Ross will appear back in court after Aug. 6 when he returns from traveling. 

I am continuing to push myself as far as I can go and soak up as much knowledge as I can. Every experience helps me to become stronger and wiser. I am excited for what lies ahead.
