This week was mind blowing. On Monday, I had the opportunity to shadow Nefertiti Jaquez as she covered a story about two teenagers, one male and one female, who were found dead behind a shopping center in Roswell. Jaquez interviewed a former friend of the female victim and she said the female was special and lit up every room she entered. In addition, the male victim's friends said that he was popular and fun to be around. This story was sad but will be a great one to follow as the investigation continues.
On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to shadow Fred Blankenship and get a taste of his everyday routine. He arrives to the station at 3:30 a.m. and so did I. Although I was a little tired, he made sure to show me what he does everyday and give me great professional and personal advice. When he finished anchoring the morning shows, I went with him to South Atlanta High School as he gave teachers fruit before they started school the next day. Blankenship is such a people oriented person, and everyone loved him.
On Wednesday, I completed my newsroom duties and said "see you later" to everyone I had the opportunity to meet and learn from this summer.
I have enjoyed my time at WSB and can't believe it has come to a close so quickly. I have met some amazing people and had the opportunity to do some amazing things. This experience was just what I needed to go into my senior year and start my career. I am still in awe over this extraordinary opportunity God allowed me to experience. I can't wait to see what He has for me next as I enter a new chapter of my life. More great things are coming so stayed tuned!
