It's the end of the world as we know it

On this, our final field trip, I learned the most about myself. I learned that, deep down I am still a little kid who idolizes the 'big people' on T.V. I learned that being a journalist is the coolest job that anyone could ever have the opportunity to do. And finally, that learning is the one constant in life we can always depend on.

When I first arrived at Georgetown, and sat listening to Dr. DiConti and Ridgeway speak about cura personalis, I thought it was an interesting point, but not much more. However, the more I walked around campus, and got a feel for life as a Hoya I realized that life is worth everything that it throws at us. For all the hard times, and tragedies in life there is always someone who inspires you to forget them all, and live to your greatest potential. In my case, that person was Anne Shroeder, gossip blogger at The Politico. Ms. Shroeder’s love for her job, and courage of conviction truly inspires me to chase my dreams of being a journalist.
Walking through the news studio at WJLA was, for me, like walking on cloud nine. Watching the meteorologist report the weather, and the anchor women report the news, both as if it were just another day on the job, was really magical.

So now that our time is drawing to a close, and people are packing up to head back to their corners of the country, I’m sad because I’ve learned a lot from these people. The only thing I can hope for is that I always remember them, and what I learned here in this, our own little world, because it’s the end of our world as we know it.
