Lessons Learned

It's Tuesday. I started my Spring Break job working at the radio station on Monday. But it feels like I've been doing it for a week. And I don't mean that in a bad way, really. I'm actually enjoying it for the most part. Even though I feel like it takes up the greater part of my day (because it kind of does) I really like what I'm doing here. Through much teaching, trial and error, and just going in there and doing it, I've learned so much and I feel so much more confident in myself.

Here's the crazy part: The confidence isn't just coming in terms of pushing buttons and flipping switches (actually, it's more of just buttons and levers, there's no switches really) I think I'm gaining confidence in more aspects than that.

When I step up to that microphone with only a sentence (at most) to go off of for a three-minute jock talk, I don't think that I'm going to fail for one second. I've gotten better at speaking on air, but I've also gotten better at writing for speaking on air. Overall, this experience is proving to be just as instrumental as what I expected it to be, if not even more.

And I'm not even halfway done.
