Making the program proud

I am greatly inspired by my fellow Chipsters. It makes me proud and happy to see these young people so dedicated to the field of journalism. I believe that every one of my fellow Chipsters will one day contribute in an important way to the news field. I've encountered so many people my age who are apathetic about their role in society. To see the drive, ambition and desire in the people I met this weekend is credibly refreshing. I cannot wait to begin my internship and start making this program proud.
