End Of The Semester

Well, the first semester of my senior year is over and it was a semester of ups and downs. This semester I have really grown as a sports anchor in all aspects. I feel that my writing has espeically gotten better since I anchored last semester. Some of the downs of the semester however, were the actually show itself. After all the Titan Town Sports shows were done I didnt feel that there were a lot of strong shows. And a lot of that came from the technical perspective of putting the show together, sometimes the audio would get messed up or the wrong video would play. So one of the main things that I have come to realize is that no matter how well prepared you may think you are, you can never be too prepared. And there a lot of things to consider, such as what if the teleprompter goes down while you are reading your scripts? Or what if you introduce a package and the wrong video gets played. Most of these things I as the anchor have no control over and so it is key to be able to put trust into your crew memebers. And there were times during the semester that the crew was fantastic, and other times they werent up to par. But I have great hopes that everyone learned from their mistakes and triumphs last semester and will come back next semester ready to put on a great show.
