I feel as though I repeat myself, but there have only been a few things on my mind in the past 2 months.
With our last CNJ class (and my last undergrad class) behind me, I have a lot to reflect on. Four years of college, four classes with Chris Delboni and four Millennium Development Goal stories.
This last story was tough. I was nervous for a few days that our video wouldn’t work out, but fortunately, our sources opened up their gracious arms and let us in for a second visit. Great people at the Temple Beth Shmuel Montessori school.
Our video showed how the students (ages 2-6) family, friends and the congregation celebrated the 61st Independence of Israel. 89-year-old Rabbi Mayer Abramowitz and the students sing happy birthday to Israel and its truly precious.
The print story, just like the video, had some bumps and bruises along the way. I was over confident that our story would only take a few drafts, but in fact it took about 6, and is still in the works. In the end, it is a much better story than where it started, and really tells the story of a great idea made a reality.
Summer’s almost here, but there’s still more stories to be written and JOBS to be offered.
