And it was an intense one... I got to write articles for Palmetto Scene website, do research for the videos, do phone calls, send e-mails, help with the political debates, and travel for shootings.. This last one was my favorite!
I always wanted an internship where I could travel, meet new people, new places... And here I am at ETV traveling every week!
On Wednesday I went to Charleston with Tabitha, Don and Mark to present a documentary ETV is producing about the Yorktown, the aircraft carrier built during World War II for the US Navy. It came along very well! After the presentation we went Downtown Charleston to have lunch and walk in the market (They have the best lemon cookies ever!!!). It was just a great day!
And the week could not have ended any better... We went to Greenville today to record a story about Rachel Weeks. Rachel is an a-m-a-z-i-n-g person, great personality! She is also a great athlete who has been running several races, marathons and even participated in an ironman triathlon. Rachel has a hearing loss and visual impairment but she does not let it stop her from following her dreams! I think I have never met someone like Rachel in my life, she is an example of passion and determination for all around her. Here is a link to her webpage,

After recording the interview in the morning Tabitha and I went downtown to have lunch and of course, we ended up getting an ice cream :)

| Delicious!!! |
We came back after lunch to get shots of Rachel and her guide running and practicing. Rachel's daughters were also there with us and they are simply lovely young girls :)
After everything was done we returned to Columbia with the heart filled with energy and determination to face all obstacles that may appear along the way. Thank you Rachel for being a wonderful woman, mom, athlete, and for showing that we can ALWAYS go one step further!
