Ten months and a few reflections later, here I am, still struggling to decide on what I want to write. More so, because reflections mostly mark the end of something. This week has ended but I believe that my journey is just beginning. From not having a source until Wednesday at 8 p.m. when my pitch was due, to finishing my project and deliverables ahead of time, I have come a long way. I am not great at bidding goodbyes because I believe that staying in touch is easy in a digital world and people make time for the ones they really want to stay connected to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with some of the industry stalwarts in the process. I am fortunate that I was able to see their work ethic and process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have just one feedback for the plan that is maintained at this point. I am not sure if this can be incorporated in the workflow but can be looked upon. If there is any way that the instructions for the standup could have been passed on earlier, I could have recorded a standup on the spot, at Lake Tahoe. That would have been an ideal one for my story with a picturesque mountain home in the background. I should have coordinated the same earlier as well and so this becomes my biggest takeaway from the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am very elated to have the chance to be a part of this training and therefore am super thankful that NPR Next Generation Radio is a part of my life. Thank you. Signing off for a final time as a mentee for NPR Next Generation Radio. Hope I graduate to a mentor position soon!!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess I have been in the United States long enough to turn in a reflection paper easily.
