Children are strange little creatures...

My day went very well. The only thing I didn't like about my story is that I had to wake up earlier than I would have liked because I had to be at Frazer School by 9a.m. I went and saw the University Hospital people doing some demonstrations and trying to scare the bejesus out of kids so they would wear seat belts and not drink or think about getting in cars with drunk drivers. At half nine was when the helicopter arrived. It was fun being amongst the kids and seeing how excited they were. They were asking me a lot of questions about my microphone and who I was(They were all disappointed when they found out I was a radio guy and not a t.v. guy). I used some of Justin Pizzi's tips when I spoke to the kids because I tried to converse with them a little bit first before asking them questions. Most kids don't talk in sound bites though.
The one aspect of my story (which was already 20 seconds longer than it should have been) that I would have liked to included is the reason this was happening at the school instead of at the hospital, which is where it usually takes place. It turns out that Frazer School doesn't have that much money, and that the price for busing has increased quite a bit. So basically the school couldn't afford to take the kids to the hospital for this program. So that the kids wouldn't lose, their health teacher Ray O'Brien organized for the hospital to come to them. Including a helicopter, an ambulance and a firetruck.
I had a good time covering my story and eventually writing my wrap. I think our broadcast went excellent and we had a great team. Were fine for time and I enjoyed how loose and relaxed we all were.
