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 i [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Fri, 19 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Thursday-December-18-2008-1086.html Excited... <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281275804403322386" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5eCMfAcEyxE/SUrcXNpTThI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OHh8QJz0Bks/s320/DSCN1293.JPG" border="0" alt="" /><br />Today&nbsp;is My fourth day with HarlemLive and i finally scheduled an interview.

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&nbsp;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 mov [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Fri, 19 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Thursday-December-18-2008-1084.html Story Developing on Day Two 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 workin [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Fri, 19 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Thursday-December-18-2008-1083.html Stressful Days Aren't Normal For Me <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281273581782159298" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PNleDGIAkww/SUraV1vHz8I/AAAAAAAAACY/fF0YXzcnjQ4/s200/3%5B1%5D+-+Copy+%282%29.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />HarlemLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The place had been shut down for a month &amp; it's under a federal investigation. It looked so spooky.

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 &nbsp;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 [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Tuesday-December-16-2008.html 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 [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Thursday-December-11-2008-1056.html Hunting in the rain Story hunt! Oh what fun, except we were hunting in the rain. Prowling the streets of Harlem, searching for stories in every nook and cranny, every stone not left unturned. OK, maybe we didn't turn over stones to find our stories, but we (as in my partner and I) did go to some interesting places . Our little group was split up into three smaller groups and then we were off with our assigned streets -which kept on changing as we went along- our feet heavy as we trudged through [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Thursday-December-11-2008.html StoryHunting=CrazySo I just came back from my first Story Hunt with the awesome HarlemLive staff and it was a blast. However it was wet and cold, which is not exactly the best weather to walk around Harlem in. My partner for today was Kendra, and I really enjoyed working with her. After she demonstrated the task that was at hand, I was ready to do it on my own; well at least I thought I was.&nbsp;<br />Well at first I couldn't get what I was going to say correct, and we stood outside of the Avon [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Friday-December-12-2008.html A sad ending<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279122389370285090" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; display: block; border-width: 0px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kP6hKNVkeOM/SUM119g6LCI/AAAAAAAAABg/PXYa_P4Wf-Y/s320/DSC04439.JPG" border="0" alt="" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279122191543514482" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: a [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Tue, 16 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Wednesday-December-10-2008-1049.html My first POS at Grand Central StationToday me and people from HarlemLive headed out to Grand Central Station with topics we thought would be great to talk about and write a story on. My topic was the issue of the Governer from Illinois trying to sell Obama's senator seat. Today was a crazy experience at Grand Central and it was a great place to practice getting used to rejection because people were in a rush, trying to catch a train or just on duty so they would just tell you that their busy and [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Wednesday-December-10-2008-1048.html Here Again! i am posting this blog today to shout out any challengers for the game of chess.

It wasn't a dream, because I know I was awake. I was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep. All of a sudden, I see&nbsp;myself&nbsp;walking home and I get hit by a car. It was really scary, there was no sound, and it was zoomed out, so I couldn't see my face, but once the car passed by, I saw myself laying on the street, bleeding. That image froze in my head; I could feel me, my real self&nbsp;crying, but the image was still in my head.

I finished my essay and emailed it to my editors. There were a few mistakes that I should have corrected before&nbsp;I gave it to the editor but at least I'll learn from my mistake. I have been really busy and tired with my college applications and essay and will be completed with everything soon and today I realize that at HarlemLIVE I&nbsp;have to be doing about 4 things at a time.... It helps me to learn how to multitask though. &nbsp [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100 http://www.harlemlive.org/hl-blog-othermenu/Friday-December-5-2008-1043.html F.D.A<br />My second day at F.D.A was cool, I kinda like the school. I never, knew the school would teach at such a high school level. I'm learning things that I never knew before. I like this school a lot. I'm adapting to the environment a lot too. I'm just mad that next week I'm gonna have to stay after school for tutoring.

HarlemLIVE has been one of the best volunteering experiences I've had yet. I am required to spend two hours a week volunteering for my class, Youth, Media, and Democracy. My classmates haven't had the best luck with the organizations they're working with. I am lucky to work at HarlemLIVE because I get to deal with the kids directly. I have helped in the writing and researching process which i [...] t.henderson@harlemlive.org Mon, 08 Dec 2008 05:00:00 +0100
