Well yesterday was so much fun. I got to see Oprah(who loos nothing like she does on tv by the way) and Gail and Common. I spoke with Kevin Powell. It was so cool. He complimented me. He said i asked key questions, some better than the other professionals there. That really made me happy. I was really hyper. That was one of the best experiences I've had so far. I also got a quick word with Susan, the creator of Essence cares and the editor and chief of Essence. I was happy to see another EIC in action. Stanley, the student of the month(for now) wanted to speak with Malcom X's daughter. She was really pretty and she had a presence about her. We instead got the co Host of the evening. Too bad. He was really upset over it. I kinda was too later. It could've been really good for me to speak with her. Well a good learning experience. Also this man was there, his name slips my mind, Helped us out a lot. Stan found this man and was speaking with him and helped him out, then when the man interviewed one person on the carpet, he would send them over to us. I thought that was really cool. I wished to had more time there and the event started later because of the fact that i could've spoken to Gail Or Oprah. That upseted me. Oh well think of the good things that night. Laredo was with us and he took some Really nice pics. I'm glad i had him there or else we wouldn't have any or few pics,especially of the celebs. Overall a nice night.

 I walked in for an interview at HarlemLIVE not knowing what to expect. Once i arrived, there wasn't any office like my teacher had described. It was just a relaxed space. People on the couch, people eating in the kitchen and on their laptops. Immediatly after i filled out an application and was introduced to everyone I began to work on my first project at the Hue-Man bookstore. There, i was at a book signiig for wynton marsalis and sat and watched how he introduced his new book Moving to higher ground how. after he discussed the book i watched how the other members of HL worked with asking people questions. Then i began to ask random people questions about the book and Wynton. it was fun to do something different. The next day I went to Milbank for the Children Aid Society Thanksgiving celebertation and saw a lot of food and got to meet alot of people and ask even more random people questions. I saw one of my neighbors too. And I learned how to take better pictures.

Omg. Today is my first day at my internship called Harlem Live. I really enjoy it a lot because it has a lot to do with journalism and media and as a person I love journalism. The people here are nice and kind. They are down to earth and I would love to come back here. Honestly, I didn't expect my first day to be like this. I say this because I thought it was a totally different environment and it makes me feel comfortable. We all came down here after school today which was really unexpected because I didn't want to come at first. Now I'm absolutely engaged and curious about doing the different activities and experiencing different things that will help me continue with my future and my career. Also, to do something fun afterschool as an extra curricular activity.

Today at school we had a math test and it was hard. Then in physics, I couldn't focus because I wanted to see HarlemLive. When it came time to leave we wasted almost 20 minutes getting ready. I was upset cause it was taking forever to find everyone and to get the papers we needed. When I got to HarlemLive there was no one there. We meet Selly and Rich, two people that works for HarlemLive. They explain everyhing that HarlemLive does. To me it was the most exciting internship to have. Then a hour later more people started to come in. So far HarlemLive is the perfect place for me.

On my first day at Harlem live i learned a lot of things one being how people at Harlem live come together and help each other settle down and also welcome you into Harlem Live. I believe Harlem Live is a great place to be when i t comes to media and anything that falls under it. Even though at the beginning it seems like a lot of work and paper work i can already see my self overcoming these first few days and actually go out there and meet people and make a couple of stories and actually get out there and do what i've always wanted to do get to meet people and socialize with people and being able to approach people without no fear or difficulties and i do believe Harlem live can help me make this happen.

 Even though I know I did an excellent job teaching the kids from ILCS I could still never see myself as a teacher. I think that the two new girls I taught today named Hannah and Shanice are really cool people. I think they learned a lot from me today. I think I was the perfect teacher for them because I provided them with the best insight and perspective someone can have on/ever think about Harlem Live. I know I haven't been here as long or as much as some of the other Harlem Live staff but I think I gave them a lot of information and I loved the fact that they appreciated me as much as I enjoyed teaching them. I wasn't to excited about teaching someone at first and especially when I found out I was going to be teaching not once but twice. I thought I was going to annoyed easily doing things twice (when I had to take turns and show each one individually) but in the end it was cool. I hope what they learned about Harlem Live today and the experiences for me as a worker here at Harlem LIve, that they stick around and do a lot with this fabulous opportunity they have. It was nice meeting the new recruits and seeing some new faces around here at HL. Hopefully they all do good in life whether they actually decide to take on the job or not. And I Have Officially Blogged Out! :-)

I Want To A Star...I Want To Be Student Of The Month And Have My Picture On The Website...URGGGGG I Hate You, _ _ _ _ _ _ _! I wanted student of the month. It's all good because I'm right behind your ass as far as production wise so you better watch out. I'm about to fly pass all. I'm going to start coming more so I can get more points and more work done. I'm so determined to get student month. I wish I could come to Harlem Live more because I really want my stuff up on the website. I'm so motivated right now. And here I got Tamarra over here trying to get student of the month again for the third time, I love her and all but she need to give me a chance to shine. I need to be up there on that website so my mommy and my family can be proud and show me off to the world. Anyway I'm leaving now I have to get back to work now because as I said before I need to stay on top of my game so next month I can have that student of the month jump off. :-)

Today was on of the coldest days of them all. I was freezing like there was no tomorrow. Over all, today was a day that we talked about Metro Card Fairs and how they are going up from $2.00 to $2.50. I think that we as the people pay to much or everything else how are we going to pay more for a Metro Card. Today i was some what not in a good mood.

Well today i went on a story about the metro card fare. I really messed up when interviewing the people. I stuttered. Well tay is a good editor and so is Warrith, so that shouldn't be to bad. Plus i could do some voice overs. It was too cold today. I love going on stories, but when its cold like this i just cant. Next time i need to bring gloves and a hat.
Most of your body heat escapes from your head. Just a fact you guys should know. I havent been staying here long lately. Its school stuff. I hate senior year with a passion. Anyway, on monday im going back on monday to do the plastic bag story. Im not staying on lennox this time. All these rude people in harlem. I liked the summer. People were so nice and actually wanted to be interviewed. Oh well.
