Frankly, when I signed up for this internship, I only knew the bare minimum. I knew that the Hays Free Press was looking for an intern and that it would be a paid one. However, I had no idea of the experience and opportunity that was awaiting me. I also had no idea that I was signing up for a 10-day workshop in Austin. So, imagine my surprise when I got an email a week or two into the job, telling me my arrival time.

As any good journalist does, I had to fact check. I called the person who emailed me and she seemed just as surprised at my quick response. After multiple confirmation emails and calls, I prepared myself.  When that day came, and I drove up to Austin, my amazement only grew.
