I, Destinee Chambliss learned a lot during this class from writing, to editing, to recording stand-ups and many more. This practicum has taught me skills that I can put down on my resume for others to see. Here' a small example of  a few clips that I worked on throughout the semester this year.

There's still work that needs to be done and skills that I can still learn in order to perfect the ones I have before I go into my career field.

This practicum was a really great experience, and I will continue to pursue more opportunities that will allow me to perfect my skills and gain new techniques to become a future producer.

My future aspiration is to become an executive producer for multiple big time shows. I also want to have additional skill in writing, photography, and digital media. I also want to be able to explore and study abroad to get a global aspect of learning about communications and journalism.

Was The Presidential Election A Joke?

Cailyn Barnes and I went out to ask a couple students about their opinions on the Presidential Election, and not too many were happy. The race was tough and had a lot of people running in and out of the election polls so that the right person will be elected as the person for the job. Some opinions were straight to the point about Donald Trump, and most comments were directed to him and his reasoning for running as a President.  Most students took him as a joke and didn't really understand why a business man was running to be the President of the United States. 

From all the racial comments and negative activity, Donald Trump still won the election from the electoral college. As of January 2017, President Elect Donald Trump will be getting inaugurated into the white house as the President of the United States. He has already started to make plans about his future goals as far as being the new President of the United States.

What Actually Happen?

15 years ago, there was a tragic accident in New York City. September 11, 2001 was a day that will forever be remember. A couple of students wanted to give their opinions about what they thought about what happen on 9/11. No matter the choice, you always have a voice and we will always remember those that lost their lives on September 11, 2001. 

The Countdown Begins. . .

Everything seems like days away, but time is flying by!

The checklist is complete!

1. Venue is booked

2. Wedding dress is fully intact

3. Tuxedo's are being picked up 

4. Bridal party is handled

5. Wedding bands ordered

THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST THING TO DO

6. GET MARRIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are 4 days left until the big day. Four days left until my brother ties the knot. Four days left for my brother to really enjoy the life of a single man. There aren't enough words to express how excited I am to gain the sister I always wanted, and to join them on this special day is very exciting. Growing up, I never really experience the girly teaching about fashion and hair, because I had an older brother. Throughout my time of growing up my Friday nights were spent with my brother and his friends, just chilling at home or somewhere out and about. Now I've had my own share of friends as well, but it was also fun to hang out with the older kids, since my brother was one of them. 

Coming from that to knowing that in just a few days my brother would be officially starting his life with his beautiful fiance is amazing. LOVE has never been so beautiful. We're all just four days away from putting on that dress and walking down the aisle. Four days away from my mom sitting on the front row shedding tears of joy, because her son is now a husband. Four days away from hearing them say those two simple words that changes their whole lives. Four days away from jumping over the broom and officially being called Mr & Mr's Sams. Four days away to cry with the bride and bridesmaids for realizing that in four days that day will be the day. Four days away from a kiss that is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

 Four days away from dancing the night away to celebrate the start of something new. 

Four days away from saying "I Do!"

" To have known you and to have loved you has been the most beautiful dream. I can only hope that I never wake up."

The Story Begins. . . . .
