STV Here I Come

Next month I will be embarking on my six week field placement with Snowmobiler Television. I will be stationed in Barrie, working under their design and editing team. I am really excited for this opportunity, but I am also a tad scared. For most, six weeks is a very short amount of time, but for someone like me, who has never lived on my own, it seems like a lifetime. I will be living at a distant friends house, with him and his mother, so I guess its not like im going to be all alone. But for the first time in my life, I will be more then just a phone call away from my friends and family.

When I start to think about things from a negative perspective, I try to focus back on the experiences I will have while I am there. I will get to dip my toes into each media that STV has to offer. I will be working with everyone from producers, to editors, to designers and copywriters. I will get to witness a snow cross event that is being held by STV, which I am super excited about, since I am an extreme sports enthusiast. Also, I will have the opportunity to do work for their associated magasine and help them with social media too. 

For me, this placement will be more the just a chance to get good work experience and possibly gain a career, it will be time for personal grown and independence. I will finally gain a taste of freedom, and have the chance to see just how far I can take myself, without guidance and supervision. I just hope that my taste of freedom, isn't bitter.
