Where do I begin?
After sending out my farewell letter, I received a message from one of my friends that Ben Sherwood the president of ABC News had read my farewell letter aloud during one of the morning production meetings. Not too long afterword he called me to talk and tell me had read my letter. I felt like I was literally on cloud 9.
My internship ended and during my break I travelled to New Orleans for the Excellence in Journalism Conference. It was a chance to reconnect and with some old friends and meet some new ones. New Orleans is an amazing city full of music and good food. I learned a lot attending the different workshops and met some of my fellow ABC News colleagues.
New Orleans is a city like no other. Music is almost on every corner and in every building and of course there is that famous street in New Orleans which is a required stop in the city:
What ABC News colleagues if my internship is over? My internship did end but I a week before I left for New Orleans I was offered a position as a desk assistant at ABC News. I was shocked and surprised by the offer, but readily accepted it. As I mentioned in my previous post, it had been my dream to work at ABC News. Now that dream has begun to come to fruition. I firmly believe that hard work does pay off and in my case it did. My dream is beginning to happen.
This is all wonderful to hear, and I’m very happy for you. Congratulations, Robert! May this lead you to greater and exciting opportunities in your future.
CONGRATULATIONS! I stumbled upon this post through a few clicks on twitter. I am happy for your dreams coming true and to see your sincere belief that hard work pays off! I agree! Good luck with your new job!
Thank you. I am really happy about this!
