It's good to be back. The students in the HoopsHIGH program make television production fun during the summer. Although I am about to return to the University of Illinois as a senior, it's good to work on, and enhance my broadcasting skills. I also enjoy teaching teens what I have learned in this field. Every year around Spring, I get excited about coming back to work with the bright students that have enrolled for the summer.
By the end of the program, I hope the crew learns that the HoopsHIGH experience is one like no other. I want them to realize how important making friends and networking is in this industry. Many of the students have a raw talent with camera work and on-air personality, but I want them to understand how much potential they have to become the best. Self-confidence is key!!!
