Road to experience

I enjoyed my scenic three-day trip north from Arizona to Bend, Ore., for my internship. This is not my first job away from home, but it includes first-time experiences for me. It is my first experience out of college. It is the first time in 20 years that I have lived where it snows. And it is the first time I have driven in snow. My careful navigation at the advice of veteran drivers is my source of safety. This also will guide me in my internship as I gather information to tell stories and share the people’s voices.
