Right now, I am back at work from the NABJ convention in Tampa and I can honestly say I am a different man as a result of the experience. I learned a great deal about the news industry and how to best make my mark.
Everyday, I feel blessed for the opportunities I am afforded and the people I come in contact with. Not everyone can say they've met celebrities, directors, and been under the watchful eye of mentors. I have and can shout from the roof top that God has allowed kind, resourceful, and genuine people into my life. And I am appreciative.
NABJ has been a game changer for me. Not only do I feel confident about my skills, but I understand and know how to work with people to optimize results. NABJ is a great organization that nurtures young journalists, continues the growth of seasoned journalists and is taking the current changes in the industry head on. I am proud and honored to be apart of an organization that embraces change and looks forward to the future.
One of the things I continue to work on in life is being humble. From the time I was young, my mother always told me I need "humble myself." And although I still struggle, I have made some strides in incorporating that essential characteristics into my life.
If you still haven't found your game changer, look deep within yourself and figure out what makes you happy and go for it.
Remain happy. Remain blessed. Continue to be who YOU are.
