Before coming on this trip, I had no idea what to expect. Sure, I had some idea of how it would all go down, but so far this experience has exceeded all of my expectations. I’m surrounded by incredibly talented peers from all across the country, which creates a cool combination of friendly competition and collaboration that serves to make us better as journalists and professionals. And what might be even better about the experience are those who run the program, Greg, Sandy and Leon. We’ve only been here for three days, but already they’ve taught me more than I learned in some entire semesters in the classroom, as well as made me think twice about what I already thought I knew about being a sports journalist.
It’s also been – surprisingly – fun and enjoyable. From going to the Cardinals-Dodgers game to singing Britney Spears in the car ride home, it’s been a fun ride so far, and I’m sure it will only continue to get better.
