We’re at the end and it’s time to leave. I really enjoyed this journalistic experience. Even though I didn’t click with people like the other kids did, I’m still happy that I was able to see what it would really be like to be a journalist. I now know that interning or working for a newspaper isn’t something thats for me. Magazines are my thing and I’ll stick to that. This workshop has motivated me to push myself and test my strengths as a person and a writer. I have to learn how to handle pressure and stress when it comes to deadlines and getting the job done. I most definatly will keep in touch with Prof. Latty, Nadine, and Kashmir. Also with the many people I was able to meet at CNN and FOX. My career as a journalism hasn’t ended at all. This is just the beginning.
