Everyday is a new Adventure

OK my first post illustrates the what happens when you ask questions. You see i was on Choir tour with the Concert Choir from Westminster College (obviously) and we had some free time in Memphis, TN. Well, a bunch of us were walking down Beale street towards late int he afternoon and this homeless man walks up to a us and asks if he can show my friend Chris a magic trick. Well we stopped and watched and let him show us. As I was watching this trick I was also looking around and checking out the atmosphere of Beale street and I found a camera man filming this interaction of the man and the magic trick. He was standing in front of a van marked FOX 31 NEWS. This sparked my interest further and I decided to investigate. After the man had got done showing us his trick he asked for money. We all didn't have cash on us so politely said sorry. Surprisingly, the man was kind about it and just said he hoped we had a good evening. As my friends walked away I walked toward the man with the camera who had since finished filming and turned to the van. I walked up to and inquired about the filming and explained my curiosity because i am a Broadcast major. He told me him and the reporter were doing a story on panhandlers and so he was getting clips. As it turns out, the reporter came over and i did Introductions and ended up interviewing my friends and the rest of us got on camera for cut away shots and such. I thought it was so interesting to watch them do their job. The reporter and I talked for a few minutes and she told me about her internship and how it was the best thing she ever did because it made her realized what she liked to do and what she didn't. Since I am Junior and haven't had an internship I was super excited to hear about her experience. We finished our conversation and I finished my time on Beale street thinking about how exciting it will be to have an internship and learn what i really want to do after college. And don't you know later on that night they played the story! So funny how life brings just what you need to know when you know it.
