first night at the journalism workshop
Last night I didn't really know what to expect. I was nervous because I have only done camps where you are actually camping. But I knew that this camp was going to be different because we were actually going to be doing interactive activities that required us to put time and effort into them. I knew I had also wanted to get involved into journalism but I didn't know how to get started so as we were thrown into the group interviewing activity last night after dinner, I knew that that activity was a brief look into what we would be doing this week. I didn't have that overwhelming feeling of nervousness when you are waiting in your room for a roommate that you had never meet before because I came with one of my really good friends. However, as Corey and I sat and waited for the other campers to arrive, I realized just how nervous I was. It was such a relief to meet everyone and see how nice and just as nervous I was.
Although we are all still getting to know each other, I feel that we all bonded in some way last night, connecting each of our lives to each others in some way. Even though we are all from different places, some knowing each other and some not, we are all here to learn more about the world of journalism. I have never really considered myself a shy person but I realized that as "outgoing" that I think I am, i'm going to have to push myself even MORE out of my comfort zone than I had originally prepared myself to. I'm still quite anxious for what is in store for the rest of the week. With columns, videos, and news letters to write I know it will be a task, but I am so excited to learn and grow as a future journalist.
