My final day in Roanoke.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
This is it. The light is flickering and just went out on what was a great summer in Roanoke.
I’ve done a handful of internships and can say without question that this was my best experience of them all.
The staff made me feel like part of the family from day one and was always an inspiration. Much like my fellow OU students they set the bar for me high. It was a challenge I loved working to meet on every assignment I had.
Along with the high visual standards I’m going to miss the luxury of having only one assignment a day in contrast to my last internship where I’d have the norm of 3 assignments a day and be transmitting back from my car. This also meant very little feedback on my work. That didn’t happen here.
With an assigned mentor and a staff that is always more than willing to help there was no lack of feedback. It was great.
I’ll miss that place, but like I told the DOP I’m walking away from it with a new group of friends and a better person and storyteller cause of it.
