It is better to ask questions, then know all the answers.

We ask questions, then to assume we know the answers. We ask questions because we don’t know, or we wonder what the outcome could or will be. You educate yourself when you ask questions because some things you’re taught in school, and at home may not give you enough information to go in life or help you fully succeed. We ask questions to ourselves while making drastic changes with our future, and the people in our lives. Asking questions may be annoying or too much but at the end of the day, who is the one that knows all the different ways to handle certain situations. Never hesitate to ask questions whenever you feel as though you don’t understand. Knowing all the answers does not mean you know it is the correct answer, people feed other people false information everyday. It is up to you on how you take that information into your life. Each question you ask, comes with a answer. You can not let that answer changes your views on things, if it is an answer you do not agree with. Again, personally it is better to ask questions, then to know all the answers.

July 19th, 2017

starting off the day visiting the CBS Television Station, was a great experience. Watching Kristine Sorensen sit in front of live cameras, while the world is watching was breathe taking. Being in love with writing and telling stories, I would have loved to produce the show, and write the script. Being in the environment that intense, made me realize the time and dedication each worker anchor has to do. I am looking forward to working in the same field. The snack walk was fun, and a learning experience. Having a camera, feeling like a photographer was fun. Taking different actions shots of the buildings, people, and have the photos turning out amazing. It was a life changing experience that will never be forgotten. Photo journalism is one other field, I am looking forward to working in. Meeting new people and traveling along with it. Last but not least, the big game. Pirates vs. Brewers the game was over exciting, watching how fans got during the game showed me the support they were giving off. The Bucs fought hard and won the game, 3-2 in 10 innings. YAYYY!!!!! To end this blog, this camp/ workshop has been a real eye opener. seeing the life of Pittsburgh and living in it for a few days was fun. Hopefully to be back soon.

PPG HOCKEY LIFE!!

PPG Arena was built in 1961. The architect built this arena for the steps to go down, to make you feel as though you were getting closer to the ice. Many interns that worked thought they would be watching the game, but Tom McMillan said they were wrong. They to work behind the scenes, even he missed the winning shot while doing multiple interviews. After games, there would be concerts or graduations. When the game is over, 400 people will run onto the ice and clear the ice, and put plywood down. it was very hard to get on and off the ice at times. “Don’t be sports writer, just because you like the sport”. Working and playtime or very different, you have to enjoy working while having fun too. You have to like both aspects of them. You can not get one, without the other. I’m not a big hockey fan, meaning I would enjoy the writing area better, and putting the different news and stories out there about the teams.

View of Pittsburgh

Looking out at the beautiful view of Pittsburgh, the sunny weather and blues skies makes you appreciate the air you breathe, while soaking up the wind that blows. Seeing what creative skyscrapers that were designed through the years. The beautiful green trees and mountains that have grown, to show people the country side of Pittsburgh, while still enjoy the city view. Walking around and seeing the different shaped houses, that were built. everything about Pittsburgh gives you your own life style, and a way of living. With all the different scenery, buildings, and people.
