<\/span>The last two years of my life have been a complete roller coaster. I’ve spent the last couple of months reflecting on both my professional and personal growth. I am not exactly where I want to be, but still pleased with the progress.<\/span>

<\/span>During the summer of 2011, I was stuck in a rut. Dead end job with no future in sight. I’d recently been promoted but I still felt like something in my life was missing. My creative flame had died and I longed to get it back. I’d only been out of college for a year and already burned out. Everyday was predictable, nothing to look forward to.<\/span>

<\/span>Fortunately, I’d made some of my best friends in life on the job but those relationships couldn’t sustain me professionally.<\/span>

<\/span><\/a>
<\/span>
<\/span>After whining, moaning and complaining about the state of my affairs, I decided to get up and do something about it. The question was, “what do I want to do?”. I tried to live through my peer’s aspirations by starting graduate classes and failed miserably. Overall fed up with the business, I began applying for outside jobs that I was unqualified for. No such luck.<\/span>

<\/span>After a few months of rejections, I stopped worrying and pray. Pray for the Lord to steer me in the right direction. I got the idea to reach back out to the News Director at my college internship to see if he was hiring. Thinking I’d get the job because of our rapport, I found out too quickly that this was a no-go. He told me that it just wasn’t my time. Another News Director informed me that I had no future in a newsroom, and to just call it quits.<\/span>

<\/span>In all reality, I didn’t have the news experience that I needed. For the next few months, I began relearning news writing skills and how to properly produce a show. By February of 2012, I saw an opening and interviewed a second time. On this go-round I made it quite clear that I was confident that I could do the job if just given a chance. Well I got that chance. I didn’t know what the hell I was getting myself into.<\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/a><\/span>

<\/span>Flash forward to today, and I am in a content state than before. I had to bust my butt in order to prove myself in the newsroom. To be honest, I wanted to quit but the Lord wouldn’t let me do it. I’m glad he gave me that extra push. It’s nice to look back and chart how far I’ve come. I won’t go into my job responsibilities but I can say that every show I produce speak for themselves. I’m a phenomenal producer with a good eye for quality entertainment. Being able to meet different people and have a large grasp on current events is pretty cool.<\/span>

<\/span>Along the way I’ve come across a few naysayers, and thoroughly enjoy proving them wrong. The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t do something. My career goals have gained clarity and I am excited to fulfill my own personal expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n
