Act One Has Ended; Act Two Just Began


During one summer day I was sitting on my front porch swing with my mom. I was telling her that I was really nervous for my up coming project for the Grey Hounds. It was then when I realized how much work this would be. Not to mention I never done anything like this before. I really I know idea how this whole thing was going to turn out. And I was scared of how I would ever get it done.


Never would have thought that my project would be the best thing I ever did at College. Looking back to that summer day it almost seems silly that I even doubted my self. What I learned from this whole experience is I’m more capable of many things then I ever realized. And it’s just incredible what can be accomplished when you put your heart into your work, which is what I did.


I grow a lot through out the season in my video work. When you compare my first Hounds Roundup to my last, it’s hard to even recognize the two. I started to figure out what I needed, what works the best, and how to make it good. Even the Hounds fans were taken notice in the improvement through comments left on my blog.


As the season went on I never expected the impact the Hounds Roundup had on the community. By seasons end everyone knew of me and the show. I think my project will have an ever lasting affect on the Wilmington community. The fact that so many came to my Capstone presentation says so much.


Having the crowd hanging onto every word I spoke until the last, the standing ovation began. That’s when I knew I gave the perfect Capstone presentation. Over 60 people came to see me speak and I didn’t disappoint a single one. In that moment, listening to the cheers and claps, that’s when I knew that I was meant to be Broadcaster. This is what I learned through out the journey. Since the day I changed majors, I was never sure if this was for me, but now I have my answer. I’ll take my bow, close the curtains, and this performance is over. Thank you to everyone for coming.
