This summer I've had the opportunity to take an advanced reporting class. This has given me the chance to try my hand at some real reporting, including researching and interviewing people for my stories.
What I've discovered is this: I really like it!
Our first task was to write a story that had to do with the school (The University of North Florida for those that don't know). Since my work outside of class has to do with support for individuals with disabilities, I decided to see what is available at the school for those individuals. What I found was very encouraging!
My story was more-or-less a profile of the Disability Resource Center at UNF. I was able to interview two staff members and one student receiving services through the center. This was my favorite quote from the interviews, said by Danika Dodd, a sophomore at the University of North Florida,“I really think someone could walk in here and be half-dinosaur and we would accommodate them!”
After spending a little time at the center, I think she just might be right!
