Monday July 2nd was my first time working in a news room. I thought I was just going to get a general tour and feel of the place but I was immediatly sent next door to the Farmington Civic Center to do a story on the Gem and Mineral Show going on for the Freedom Days Celebration.
I was glad that it felt like doing a story for AIJI because it was easy for me and I enjoyed it. If it weren't for AIJI, I wouldn't be here and I would probably be at home working a boring, 8-5 job that doesn't help me what-so-ever with my career.
I enjoyed it even more when my editor, Troy Turner said that my story was going to be in the next days paper.
Sure enough it was, it's called "Annual display gives color to the hard stuff" and it's on the front page. I couldn't stop smiling for 10 minutes after I saw it and read it over and over again.
It may not seem like a big thing but I feel good about it. I've never been published on a newspaper like this.
Another reporter here, Lindsay congradulated me and said, "just one of many."
I hope so.
