Tools to Succeed

I remember my first class with Professor Weaver. He told us that we will find out if we can sink or swim. As he always put it, “were going to throw you into the fire and see if you come out alive.” All of the classes I have ever had with Weaver were very hands on. There is only so much you can learn from a book and the best kind of experience is the kind you do yourself. Over the course of the four years I been here, this kind of mentality has really helped me grow. I have to say I have learned a lot and I am now exceptionally versatile. I have hands on experience at producing, writing and being the talent for radio news. I am a producer; director and technical director for our live TV show The County Line. All of this was learn not from a book, but from actually doing it. When you have a class with Weaver, working under deadlines is not an option but is expected and this creates a profession atmosphere. I believe this kind approach has provided me with the tools to succeed in my capstone project. It will also prepare me for when I enter the working world. With my experience, I won’t stumble at the starting line but hit it in stride.
