Making It Grow and Luncheon – Vanessa Ortiz

Helloooo!! First thing I have to say is that this week has been a lot of fun!  I’m almost at the end of my eight-week here at ETV, how crazy!

Throughout this week I’ve been working on one of my last videos, which is going to be the Intern’s testimonial video. For this video I needed to interview the seven endowment interns and ask them about their experience and assignments here at ETV.  I interview most of them this week, everybody was so nice and it was really interesting to hear what they have been up to this summer and how was their experience as interns.

 Making It Grow live!

 On Tuesday ETV organized an intern’s luncheon where we had the opportunity to meet the ETV President Linda O’Bryon, our supervisors, talk to the staff and even talk in front of everyone sharing our experience and inform them of the things we’ve been doing the past couple of weeks. I enjoyed spending time with my fellow interns since we don’t usually spend a lot of time together.  It was a great experience and I had a good time J

The same day we also had scheduled a visit to the Making It Grow set in Sumter. We arrived there really early since I had to interview Jessica, the intern for Making It Grow. Then, we had a quick tour inside the building and inside the studio where they do the show. Making It Grow is live every Tuesday at 7 pm, so it was a really interesting to see how they run a live show, how they get phone calls and put them on air and more! We even had the opportunity to hear what the director of the show was saying through a headset they gave us. Overall, I had an awesome time there and it made me realize that live television is one thing I would love to do in the future!

Well, that’s all for now!

Quote of the day:
“Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right”

See you soon!

All the love. xx
