Interviews

I think what I miss most about being a journalist, more than the writing even, was the interview. Sometimes I got to talk to semi-famous people. Other times big names in the communtity. It felt kind of cool that the mayor and our local house representatives knew me by name. It felt cool to be right on the front of every major event or happening. And, I loved to interview people who had overcome great adversity. People who inspire. People who did great things with their lives. To find out what it feels like to be them. What goes through their minds and their hearts at the pintacle of the excitement or tragedy. I loved talking to them and hearing their stories. And I guess that's what I wanted my career to be. I wanted to be the storyteller. I wanted to be the medium, the pen and paper, that told their stories. So that others might be inspired to great or greater things. Who knows what the future holds. Maybe I'll stay in the Air Force and retire one day. Maybe I'll become a linguist or a flight attendant. Maybe I'll practice psychology. Maybe I'll return to my first love, journalism. Or maybe I'll actually write a book. Either way I'll always remember my job at LDN as more than just a job and a paycheck but as a passion.
