To Be...Or Not To Be...

Shakespeare was a brilliant man. One of my favourite writers of all time. He knew what he was good at, what he enjoyed, and he went with it.

You can learn a lot from a man like him, and one thing I learned is you have to do what interests you. I visited CKWS yesterday and I enjoyed every second! Grant Barber was wonderful, he opened my eyes to the possibilities while showing me the 'colourful' world of Corus Entertainment. Each department, whether it be production or sales promotion, ignited a little spark of enthusiasm in me. 

Of course, the highlight of the tour for me was the CKWS radio room, where I actually got to record a segment of a promotion for Chillifest, and the News room, where I wandered the set and admired the cameras. I felt so giddy inside that it was hard for me to remain calm and professional, but I think I played it off good.

In any case, after the tour I sat in my room, looked up to the ceiling and thought. I thought where I wanted to go after my three years at SLC, I thought about who I want to be, and what I wanted to do. I thought, Kingston, as small of a city as it is, has so many opportunities for someone like me.

Who knows! Maybe in three years I'll be sending in a resume to CKWS, all I know now is, I'm going to continuing doing, what interests me...and that's advertising.    

P.S check out the CKWS website! Maybe you'll be inspired like I have: http://www.ckwstv.com/
