Today I was manning an information booth
and was swarmed by a team of student journalists.
I happily did interviews for their class assignments,
easing them over their nervousness, and
treated every… well… rather junior question seriously.
When they left a few hours later happy,
one of the other women at the booth said
“I can’t believe you gave them so much time.”
I can’t believe I didn’t give them more.
You see, student journalists graduate
to become “real” journalists or
go into public relations or…
and they never forget their first few interviews.
I was lucky enough to be one of those interviews.
