Today... I'm going to work on another story before I get to interview the politicians, which I can't wait to do. Thanks Celly for making it a little bit easier by socializing with the politicians:). Right now I'm interested in the Uptown Skate Board School, a school where they educate the importance of physical activity with teaching people about skate boarding. Teaching Anabel the newbie card was really long and she got everything but Rich kept complaining... I did a good job though. Cant wait for the holiday's... x3Kendra =) Posted by Kendra at 6:27 PM

In my spare time I also do a lot of ad campaigning. My most recent ad I did today for Tampax. Lol. I am so bored. Lol. But I am happy my poem and memoir are now up on the site so I can show off my work, and so I can get some last minute points. I have to like step my game up because I've been missing in action here at Harlem Live and I'm have to make student of the month before I go CRAZZZZZZZZY. Next time I blog its going to be 2009 and it's going to be a whole different ball game. A new Charisma is going to emerge. Oh Yeah!

Hey... right now I'm trying to get situated in Harlem Live. Im starting to get more comfortable at this internship. It gets more fun each and everyday. Im trying to get email editors but I didn't realize how hard it was. Also, I'm learning how to get more aware on how to work at Harlem Live. There really isn't that much work that I really have to do at this moment besides going over what I already know and need to pick up on a little better. I decided to come in today although its not my scheduled day because I wanted to catch up on some work and better understand Harlem Live. Also, just to get out and have fun over here. Well, thats all I have to say for now... Over and Out!!! ** -Shanice signing them autographs-** LOL

 Today is My fourth day with HarlemLive and i finally scheduled an interview. It was random much because i began to look online for story ideas and Seli was talking to a minister of a church, then she offered me an idea to interview the minister about his church and himself. So i finally got an interview scheduled it for when i come back after break and i am pretty excited !! I was looking online for questions to ask the minister on the interview. Also Shana, an experinced journalist helped me out. So i feel prepared and ready to go my first interview, hopefully write my first article and get it published on the website. So im done with my blog, now i have to go and do my chore now (mop the floor) ugh !! thanks a lot Shanice goshhh !! lol Posted by Jaanaice at 5:30 PM

Everyone has first's in their life a first dollar party whatever the situation is. But mines may be the best of all. I will have my first chess tournament on december 20th and i cant wait. I hope to experience the most out of it and beat all my opponent's. i heard that if you talk while you're playing the people there will take your piece, any piece and you can lose. So now im focusing on playing quiet games and focusing on my moves instead of playing around and doing dumb moves. Like i always say any challengers step up. DUCESZ! Posted by Na- Na at 5:59 PM

Today was my second day volunteering at HarlemLIVE and today I was able to work with a bunch of people to develop story ideas and write out questions. Kendra is doing a very ambitious story about politicians and what they do to help their communities. She was making phone calls and collecting contact information in order to set up interviews with some big name politicians. I'm really impressed with how ambitious she's being, especially since she's only been working with HarlemLIVE for a month.
I was also working with Jaanais with her questions for her interview. She's going to be interviewing a minister at a local church and she came up with a lot of really great questions about why he became a minister and what he wants to do in the community. We tried to do some research about the minister and the church but we struck out every time.
Hannah and Shanice were also working on stories about a beauty salon and a skin care place. Then I spent some time hanging out with Tamarra and Charisma talking about video stories and college applications. Everyone here is so motivated to find interesting stories and conduct thorough interviews. Posted by Shana at 6:38 PM

 HarlemLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How have you been? I somewhat miss you guys. I haven't been here in so long, I feel like a freaking stranger. Anyway I've been so stressed lately and it is so unlike me. You all know I'm normally an active, energetic, and happy person seeing me all depressed and down is unlike me. It feels so weird. But I was, I been having my heads in the clouds and I've just been in deep thought about so much stuff in my life. Things from college stuff to just my personally life. I've just been in so much tiredness, pain, and stress. It's ridiculous. I've just been writing mad poems to express my emotions because that helps me relieve and get over stuff. I can't believe the year is about to be over. I won't miss 2008 as a whole though. I can't wait until 2009. I will have my senior trip, my 18th birthday, my acceptance letters into colleges, my prom, high school graduation, and my first cruise, my trip out the country, and then THE COLLEGE LIFE. I hope 2009 is a much better year for me than 2008 was or whatever. I don't know what else to say right now so... This Is Charisma And I Have Officially Blogged Out! :-)

 Yesterday going to Minton's PlayHouse was not fun. The place had been shut down for a month & it's under a federal investigation. It looked so spooky. When we first went to the place we were expecting to hear music and see many lights. So we went next door and ask a supervisor of that building what was going on with the event, but he had no knowledge of it. Then we asked the paper man. who just said he delivers paper to the playhouse. And so it was kind of weird. A lady passes by and said that it was weird also..but i think she was apart of the FBI. Today the food was still good like yesterday thanks to Stephanie and Coco. & also today Shana was helping me speak on the phone and sound happier and energetic by smiling even though they can't see that through the phone but they can hear it---Good advice.
x3Kendra.

Last week we went on our first POS....It was so much fun. We interviewed random people and learned the basic techniques of how to get info on a specific topic. For example, I was working with Jaanais on the NFl vs. the NBA. I think our topic is very different and cool. We received many stories on our topic and we are going to develop it. It is now the 17th and I don't know what we are going to do today. Hopefully it's fun like always because we just went on break form school for the winter and christmas. We need a break so yeah we need to have fun!!!!

Today was my first day working as a volunteer at HarlemLIVE. I read about the organization on the website www.volunteersnyc.org and was really excited to get involved. I graduated from New York University in 2005 with my degree in journalism. I would really like to teach journalism classes in the future and volunteering here would be a great way to start doing that. I used to work at the website for Major League Baseball, editing video, writing and shooting stories and putting video online, so I think I have a lot to contribute here.
I spent the day working with Stanley and teaching him a little more about Final Cut Pro. There are so many tricks and techniques to it that one day wasn't enough to teach him everything he wanted to know, but we definitely made some good first steps. I'm really excited for my next time here, because we'll have some story ideas that we can start working on. Today was just a tutorial. I'm definitely really excited to be involved.
