Motivated

During this week I was closer to me than ever since I arrived in Washington, what I did and who I met remind me what I am pursuing.

Double R
At one of TWC hearings I met Rosemary Reed, president and owner of Double R productions. She is very successful woman who with no media background is now running her own company and is a very prestigious journalist. She gave me an interview and this was one of the worthiest chating I have had in Washington so far. She reminded me how much I wanted to be somebody and how much I wanted to pursue my goals and dreams. I am glad and thankful for the words she gave me that day.

Standings
At my job I did my first two standings! Being on camera is not easy at all. I did the standings for the entertainment sections presenting the Environmental Film Festival of Washington. To be honest they are not that good, but they went on air, and now it is just a matter of practice to get better and better.

Animation
Ariadna, the person in charge of the arts and culture section in my job, ask me to help her doing one interview with Paul Mackey, executive producer of "El espíritu del bosque", an animated film presenting in the Environmental Film Festival. I end up asking the question to the producer, which was very exciting. I still have to work on my interviewing skills but Ariadna told I did a good job.

Food court
For my entrepreneurial class, my Professor get some free passes for the International Franchise Expo. There we saw franchise ideas and all kind of support for franchise systems. I am actually working on a business idea and there I got good information of how things are done in US. Of course food franchises were offering samples and I had a really good time tasting a little bit of everything.

I enjoyed this week a lot, I started to practice for my choreography, and I had fun with colleagues and friends too.

“The MOST or the EST” SECTION

The funniest
Getting locked out of my apartment, my mexican friend and I stay out for at least one hour until our roommate finally open the door for us.

The most motivating
Hearing at my boss, telling my program advisor how good my performance has been at VOA.

The most singing
On a goodbye party for one of my colleagues I had a really good time, since a violinist and a guitarist played at the party.
