New Partner, New Beginnings

It has been only one week since Spring Break and I already am feeling the pressures of the semester's end. Last week we discussed topics for our final package for the last show and I am quite excited to be the reporter on this project.
My new partner John and I pitched a story about Columbia woman's softball and after speaking to the captain, I learned about another Columbia athlete in a school that is most known for its students' artistic talents and not athletics.
Sarah Myzska is not only an interesting subject to write a profile piece about, but she is also a fantastic person with a great personality. I always get giddy when I meet incredible people while working on a story.
Throughout my career as a Columbia College student, I have come across amazing people with amazing talents and I have learned much about myself, as a person, from experiences with my interviewees.
I am also excited to tell Sara's story because it is a topic that is near to my heart because 18 of my 21 years of life have been spent playing softball. I played on numerous traveling teams as well as high school teams and I can definitely relate to Sara's story.
I believe my experience as a softball player will allow me to tell her story to the fullest and will offer insight into the sport that a non-athlete could not bring to the table.
