The
first week has almost come to a close here in Denver and I would have
to say it has been a success. As I begin my internship placement at
Comedy Works, I have so much to look forward to. I know the time will
fly by while we are busy with schoolwork, internships, and exploring
the city. The first couple days were a little overwhelming; all I
could think about was that I will be living and working in this city
for almost four months! Wow! What a change it is from small town
Waverly, where I have lived all of my life. Since being here for two
weeks now, I have begun to feel more at home. Thank goodness!
Denver
is said to be a place with many opportunities that bring many
different people together. As I walk down the streets, I have noticed
that there are an abundance of homeless people asking for money while
locals and tourists walk right on by. It just goes to show that there
are so many different lives being lived here, from poor people to
middle income to the wealthy. It is all here. That is what I find
interesting about this city is that you can literally find whoever
from block to block. One might say that Colfax, the street we live on
is one that you don’t want to travel by yourself; I would say it is
one of those streets where you can find everything; modern buildings,
dirty parts, poor stores, etc. Just walking this street truly opens
my eyes to what else is out in the world that I have been naïve to.
I
am so excited to what this experience here in Denver will teach me. I
am ready for new adventures and new opportunities that will help me
grow as a student and person. Bring it on Denver!
