Back to Radio!

Okay, so I have a bit of a confession to make, and I am late in doing this, but better late than never right?

So I did this radio practicum my senior year of college just for some fun, and to have 1 credit on my hours for the last semester. My show was called: NewsAlerts with Abby....and what I did is basically go on the air between 2-4 p.m. on Sundays to give some news updates, what were some stories on campus and in the community, mixed with some popular songs on my iPod. It was fun, and I had a great time - and I seriously did think for a time or two that I could make it a career - being a radio personality host.

But you know how things happen sometimes. You forget that liked doing that, and get caught up thinking you should try sales, or write for a newspaper or magazine - which is fun, and I like it, not going to lie, but if I had the chance to be On-Air, I would definitely do it! I have the personality, the structure and organization, cute friendly voice, personable, and I like talking of course! I can keep up to date with the news and trends, I can multitask, and bring a positive vibe to the station I'd be on! Isn't that exciting? Knowing you have all the tools necessary to make it in a business, and loving it at the same time? What more could you ask for? Nothing in my opinion.

So now I've decided to get back in touch with a guy I contacted while I was doing the radio practicum - his name is Sam Weaver, and he's a radiocoach. He helped me before with my aircheck, and now he's willing to help again get me started in radio. I believe I can learn a lot from him, so I'm going to try this out because I could make this a job one day! And it'd be SO MUCH FUN!

Maybe I'm going all over the place with this job business - and sure I've made mistakes, but who doesn't? You have to make mistakes in order to make things right for yourself. You have to realize that its a process in finding what it is you really LOVE doing, and figuring out what you're going to make of it. I'm young and I'm still figuring it out, but I know that there's a lot of you out there in the same boat as me.

That's all I have for now. See you all next week!
