Back from Spring Break

I was away for the week during Delaware's Spring Break. I came back to Out-and-About nice and refreshed. I handed in the final story about Joe Troilo. I was pretty satisfied with how the story ended up coming out. I felt there was a lot of information and not enough space, but that's how the world of journalism goes. I enjoyed writing the article because it was a challenge for me to really pay attention to what was most important to my story. I decided to focus on Troilo's early life and how he got into his fascination with street rods and old cars. I then wrote about his involvement with legislation and his organization, Mid-Atlantic Street Rod Association (MASRA). I also worked on a 400-word piece for Cruising about the legislation that has been affecting street rodders and their hobby. This was not the most interesting information I ever had to write about, but I enjoyed it because it was a learning process for me.

The Cruising deadline was quickly approaching, so Jerry and Mike had me compile one more shorter story for the publication. I wrote about a automobile museum that will be celebrating an anniversary in May. The museum looked so cool that I might try to take a trip over there sometime, maybe this summer when I have nothing to do. I also worked on some editing for my advances that I compiled for the May issue.

It was a nice week back after being away for Spring Break.
