Nothing Short of Amazing: My First Week
My first week as a Discover The Unexpected fellow has been nothing short of amazing. Week one has furthered my curiosity into the program, and I hope to continue to carry this curiosity throughout the rest of my journey. From my initial arrival at the boot camp to my first day at the Washington Informer, each day has gifted me with something unexpected.
On The Other Side Of The Camera: Week One
Working at The Washington Informer, my coworkers seem really cool and professional. I really want to work with video, and am hoping I can help the graphics department at The Washington Informer do more work. My skills are best suited for videography, photography, and motion graphics, and I am ready to learn.
My Enthusiasm To Be Great Has Skyrocketed
Since meeting the other fellows, I feel like I have known them for years. It’s like a sibling bond that just bloomed once we met. We each relate to and laugh at the same things, so I know our journey throughout this process will be very memorable and filled with excitement.
