I was looking forward to working with people who are professionals in editing, engineering, producing and reporting. I knew this workshop was going to help expand my skills in producing a multimedia feature. A part of me knew it was going to be a very busy week, but I felt ready.<\/p>\n<p>I will admit, there were times when I felt I wasn\u2019t prepared enough or I felt anxious and overwhelmed. I have a bad tendency of overthinking certain things. I thought I wasn\u2019t going to make it to the end of the week with a finished product; again, me overthinking. But my mentor, Carrie, was great at keeping me calm and always reassuring me that I was doing well and we were on schedule. Her encouragement helped ease my worries and move forward. Literally, I was surprised by how much we got done, and all in a week too. I loved working with my mentor, Carrie. She\u2019s the best!<\/p>\n<p>I also really enjoyed the editing sessions as well. Erica, Emily, Selena, Lita, Patrice, &amp; Carrie were all awesome! I learned new skills from them that will really help me, and I can apply it to my current job. I greatly appreciate each one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this week was amazing and I\u2019m happy with the experiences I had working with everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I submitted my pitch story and heard that it got approved for NPR\u2019s Next Generation Radio, I was elated but also nervous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":420,"featured_media":532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"coauthors":[20],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/420"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naja-nextgen2021.nextgenradio.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
