The first was listening to how generous the women of HEART Homeschooling were. Second when I got to witness the strength of the \u00a0families that had been displaced by Hurricane Harvey. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many times in journalism you are taught to be objective, but I don&#8217;t see it that way .When reporting on subject matters that affect people&#8217;s lives so drastically, it was hard for my humanity not to seep through. In my opinion, you won&#8217;t be able to truly understand your interviewee if you can&#8217;t relate to them in some capacity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our audio tech Patrice would \u00a0step in from time to time and ask a background question for clarity ,which only made my piece better in the end . Teamwork definitely made the dream work for this project .There were times when \u00a0I knew the answer I wanted but I couldn&#8217;t seem to find the words. My mentor Monica Rhor would step in and know just what to say to get the heartfelt answer I needed.I could not have done this without a strong team working alongside me .<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve learned that sometimes it&#8217;s okay to let your humanity shine through. I can honestly say I don&#8217;t believe my non-narrated piece would be as touching as it is if I wasn&#8217;t empathetic during my interview.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although this was a fairly short internship, I learned more than I have in semesters of editing classes. I am so grateful to be in this space around such positive people and I will never forget the time spent and knowledge gained.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week has been such a memorable and eye opening experience. \u00a0I&#8217;ve learned so many things that I will carry with me throughout my career, but a few of my favorites are the importance of project management, working together and, my favorite, subjectivity.
