The week at Grady was absolutely amazing! I must admit that I was really nervous that everyone at camp would have a ton of experience or be unfriendly, or the teachers would expect us to have a ton of background knowledge. This was my first real experience with journalism, though I have played around with the thought in my head for a few years (ever since I discovered that I legitimately enjoyed writing). For a very long time I thought that news writing was the only kind of journalism and this discouraged any future discover in the field. I knew that news writing probably would not be the most enjoyable for me. And now I find feature writing and realize that it is truly the perfect fit for someone like me. I think writing and reading the reviews and profiles made me realize this. The articles weren't just cut and dry. They told a story, and in the end, that's all I really want to do.
I truly did learn more than I imagined last week. I finally know something about journalism and I have 2 articles, a music review, and a profile to prove it!
Lastly, I just want to say thank you to all of you guys, my fellow Grady Gleeks, and of course our amazing teacher Mary Jessica! You guys made camp better than it possibly could have been. It was awesome to meet you and I really hope we can keep up with this blog to stay in touch! I'd love to hear from you guys. And if you have a blog and posted the url somewhere on this blog, I'll be stalking you via that :]. My blog is www.dailyraz.blogspot.com and I should be adding a post about the week at Grady quite soon! Hope you check it out and let me know what you think :]
You guys are amazing (I know I've probably used that word way too many times in this one post, but there really isn't a better adjective!) and thanks again for everything! :]
