Today marks my first day at the Greene Institute journalism camp! The first thing I noticed when I arrived was an overwhelming feeling of independence. Being in a new environment and having the opportunity to learn and work on my own made the experience feel different, but in a good way.
On our first day, we got an overview of what we will be doing throughout the camp and what we can expect during the week. I was especially excited to learn that we will have photo and video classes because those are two things I genuinely enjoy.
One thing I learned today is that journalism can take many different forms. It is not just writing articles or reporting the news. It can also be photography, video, interviews, and storytelling.
Even though I did not do anything too crazy on my first day, I still left feeling accomplished and hopeful about the week ahead. I am excited to see what I will learn and create throughout this experience.
