My Amazing Internship
My Amazing Internship
To the Editor:
I just wanted to take the time to thank the entire staff of The Newtown Bee for making my internship there better than I could have ever hoped for.
Every single person who works in that building was nothing but accepting and charming in every way, shape, and form. They laughed at my lame jokes and answered my stupid questions and helped me grow not just journalistically, but into an all-around better, more educated person.
They are all such friendly, helpful, interesting people and deserve all the respect and thanks in the world.
I am speaking especially to Shannon, Nancy, John, Curt, and, of course, to my dearest Eliza, who was the one who had to put up with me not ever having any story ideas and spending six weeks on interviews and edits and forgetting to take photos for Bee Lines and not being able to get the camera focused, who double-checked all my facts and spelling and names without a complaint in the world, and who was great for conversations about prom, television, Christmas presents, and everything else.
Not to mention Tique [a chocolate Labrador puppy], the best office distraction ever.
I had the most amazing time interning at The Bee, my first internship ever, and it was solely due to all these fantastic people (and pets).
So thank you so much, guys, and have fun cruising down the aisle of life. Iâll be back to visit soon!
Love,
Emily Ashbolt
