These are the two views of my front yards. One is not better than the other. They're just different.
"If not now, then when?" was my reasoning behind moving to the largest city in America (8.3 million). My professors always said that I should be prepared to move to a small town after college and get my experience as a reporter where I can make those rookie mistakes and not worry about it being plastered all over youtube the next day.
I'm not opposed to living in a small town. I grew up in Athens, TX where the population is just now reaching 12,000 people. I just prefer to be unemployed and looking for a job from home in a city unfamiliar to me and experience new things that I would never be exposed to otherwise.
I'm excited to submerse myself into the culture of New York City and hopefully provide a fresh look on important issues that might inadvertently be overlooked by someone who has already become numb to this overwhelming environment.
Welcome to the Big Apple!
Amen Kaci!! I think that you living in New York will, in the long run, make you a better person and reporter. You will be exposed to WAY more people than would ever pass through ole Athens, TX. Just don't forget the little people when you do make it BIG one day!! :)
