Although I initially felt overwhelmed by the demands of the workshop, I have to admit I am glad I committed to this program. The second day has so far been a more realistic looking glass into what the journalism world can offer us, even in this unstable time. Working independently feels good, especially after having just graduated high school, where everyone holds your hand throughout your learning experience. Persistence, almost to the point of obnoxiousness, but not quite, is key to getting the information you need. This week will be long...but well worth the hard work.
