Our Reflections
A Life-changing Week
A month and a half ago, I wasn’t even a journalist. Now I’m here, writing a reflection about a life-changing week that went by too quickly.
A Glimpse of the Real World
I started off the week with an idea that I thought was a master plan, but after the story took a wrong turn it made me think on my feet.
A Week of Mixed Emotions
Yes, I was happy I got accepted. But I wasn’t confident in my ability to be a good journalist so I started to worry. Which led to more worrying, I almost didn’t go through with it.
A Good Reminder
Before I was contacted by my mentor, Allison Herrera from The World, I knew I wanted to cover a minority group for the upcoming November midterm election.
My Week at a Glance
I had no idea how I was going to complete this project in less than a week. I was terrified and excited at the same time.
