Rescue Rob

I'll admit...I hit my first mid-life crisis. Decisions...Decisions...Decisions!
After high school I made a half ass plan for my life. * Note I said "half ass"* In a bout three years...meaning now that plan fell through.

My dream was to become a News Director and help inform people on the issues going on in the world and at least attempt to make it a better place.

The first blow to knock down my plan was my Newswriting professor Dr. Valerie Nieman. She's a very great creative writer and have picked a few awards. She tapped into something that wanted me to explore the world of writing. Crazy, right? But yeah it's true I started writing small short stories and continued writing fake news articles, building my craft.

The second and final blow was my internship this summer at WXII in Winston Salem, great people and I gain a massive amount of experience. I had no idea how to report or produce a good news cast so that put me a head of the game. It also made me realize news was something I didn't want to go into. (Still a back up plan though.)

So up until June I had it all planned out until I turned 21 and realized I wanted more out of life, but I wanted to play a huge role in people lives. I'm no activist or anything like that but I would like to inspire people, so why not write...So that's what I'm going to do.

I finally decided my game plan after college, I want to be a Televison Executive Producer and Writer. TV is the best way to influence people...hence the word *Swag & people wanting to be Gucci* :( So the midlife crisis is over people I got it together and expect more from me.

I'M BACK!!!!
