Ready for battle

I can't wait to get to my newspaper to expand my skills in the copy-editing field. My internship paper is located close to home but far enough away to discourage me from driving there whenever I get frustrated. If I get frustrated with the job, then I will have to suck it up and work out whatever problems I have. If I work everything out and not run away from my problems, then I will get better at my job and will also be able to expand my skills.

I would have been going into my internship a little nervous and scared but Bill Elsen, an adviser to reznet.org, encouraged me to have fun and not be afraid. Although simple and few, those words were all I needed for encouragement and to be able to succeed.
