I was assigned a fatal car crash without knowing any of the details surrounding this tragic incident. We rushed to the scene, which was several hours away, where my cameraman and I learned that six teens had died. I ended up staying along the border of Saskatchewan in a small town for three days with only that day’s clothes on my back. With two months of experience, I quickly learned how important it is to stay organized, focus on the task, and use your strengths to maximum advantage. I wrote my TV scripts in a van while filing local and national radio stories from a mobile phone—not ideal, but it all came together. Despite the horrible circumstances of the crash, I was proud to be the recent graduate who filed stories for all of Canada to see and hear. [29]
