Final Project Drafts 2

After initially writing for my final project draft, I am making revisions to that now.  I know that everyone needs to make repairs on papers, but how much is too much?  I think by the time someone edits a paper over 4 or 5 times, it's not original anymore.  By the time people change their sentences around, it's not their voice anymore.  And that's the most important thing about writing: making it YOUR paper.  The difficult thing is to change your paper, but still having your voice read right off of the page.  That's true creativity, true writing.

Final Project Drafts

This final project is pretty tough on me.  For my last project before final exams, I have to write a script for something.  Just coming up with an idea was tough!  But with lots of pondering, I came up with a pretty decent idea.  I want to do a documentary on my brother's car accident.  It is a very moving piece and will really open a lot of people's eyes.  In 2007, Ethan was riding in a vehicle with two other passengers.  His best friend was in the passenger's seat and he was killed.  As Ethan watched and heard his friend die, he was traumatized.  He had never seen anything like it.  Eventually, he worked his way back to the Lord.  Anyways, I am struggling to come up with the main theme.  Obviously, I want to talk about the accident, but what angle do I go at.  Do I want to focus solely on the experience of the accident with parents commentary or do I want to focus on the after-affects of the accident.  I still need to figure this out before I really start working on this project.

Getting the J-O-B!

In getting your first job in your related field is pretty nerve-racking.  I know because I am basically going through that same problem.  For the past few months, I have been nervously contacting several different companies for an internship this summer.  Thanks to a blessing from God and some luck, I was able to acquire a pretty good job this summer in Indianapolis.  I will be working for WISH-TV 8 doing odds-and-in jobs.  Before I applied, though, I had to make a resume and a cover letter.  These are VERY crucial in getting a job.  The resume is what basically gets most people the job.  The experience that you have gained and jobs you have held in the past will really help this.  It will especially be helpful if you have worked in the same kind of field previously.  Don't underestimate the work experience in unrelated fields either!  If you work hard and have a good rapport with the owner, you could list them as reference and get very good feedback.  I think this is the biggest issue.  Working hard will get you anywhere.  If you have the desire to do it, and work for it, I think that anyone could get any job they wanted because they have a passion for it!
