Re: How has your involvement in FIRST affected your career choice?
Before I joined FIRST, I wanted to be an interior designer (or a ballerina ). My reasons for joining aside, it changed my goals. There is this wonderful man in this program named Walt Hickok who really gave me wings and handed me a camera, telling me to be creative. Because he believed in me, I was able to really explore both the camera (video) end of the Chairman's group and write articles for a newspaper (also pushed for by my now late journalism teacher Ms. O'Leary).

Walt really was my inspiration to just fly into the world of jouralism, especially broadcast. He encouraged me to follow where my heart took me, and my heart took me to broadcast journalism. Now, I am studying it at Michigan State University and will be graduating spring 2008.
