Day 2 - Introducing ourselves again 7/12/13

Today was the first day with our professor, Mr. Timothy Crothers. He had us introduce ourselves with a bowling story. I was able to share that my last game was a 217. Maybe I'll never bowl again so I can always say that my last game was a 217. He had us gather material for our first story. We would ask a classmate about their greatest athletic achievement. That's a good way to get a story. That way we get practice interviewing, don't have to worry about the tight time schedule for when to set up the interview, and write about something new that probably has never been covered before. My partner was Brian Griffin. It did not take me long to decide what story I was going to tell him. Making 19 out of 20 foul shots at basketball camp made me feel pretty cool for a middle-schooler. I learned about Brian's game-winning soccer goal for High Point. Our next story seemed pretty cool, too. It was to be based on a press conference on Monday with Marcus Paige. Whoo! He's from Iowa, maybe I should ask him why he left the state when I'm about to move into it. Ok, maybe not.
