For six days, 16 teenagers lived at Gila Hall on the University of Arizona campus. Some thought the building was cool and had a vintage vibe. Others said it was old and dirty. Those thoughts did not deteriorate the comradery and good memories created either between roommates in the individual dorms or together at time in the game room.
The 16 students woke up and thought of ideas and sentences that would soon be printed onto paper. They went to sleep thinking about how they missed their one chance at that interview they had that day. Even while taking daily trips to Chipotle, journalism was on the minds of the students.
All 16 came with different skill sets and ideas on what they were good at. Some were good at writing while others excelled at photography. But they all left the workshop well rounded, being exposed to all the aspects of journalism. They have been inspired to seek out journalism in their communities. By having speakers ranging from students to professors to even award winning photographers, the seed of higher education has been planted into their minds and all they have to do now is to let it germinate.
