Carolina Week Testimonial: There's a good reason that as a college student I was trusted to assist ABC World News Tonight's live broadcasts from the floor of the 2004 Democratic National Convention -- I had more than just book-based training. Dateline NBC trusted me to field-produce an interview with the FBI because I walked through their doors with real-world experience in all aspects of producing television news.

Be a humble sponge... soak up all you can by being involved with CW. This means there's a lot more you should be doing than waiting to put your face in front of the camera. You only become a better journalists after having practiced and made some mistakes. Take the opportunity to test yourself so that you can approach your first professional experience with the polish of a professional.

While I'm not currently "in the business," I've used my electronic communication skills to start and manage TeachFor.Us, an online blog community for Teach for America teachers.
