By Sera Tikotikovatu-Sefeti<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tell this story, let me take you on a journey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A journey of love, health and learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, it was full of excitement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle it was filled with snort, fever, laughter and a battle of mind over matter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be wondering what all this is about <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come cruise with me as we journey reflecting my #USPNextGenRadio week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin I met my \u2018Michelle,\u2019 she\u2019s my mentor, guide, whip and Godmother<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned how to prioritize the different work, determination in completing the projects, writing headlines and web contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This and more is what I learnt from this amazing woman<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly is the fabulous Traci, I learnt funky terms like barf draft, \u2018do a frankenstein\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To most it might sound weird, but it has such an amazing interpretation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barf Draft is writing all the information you gathered from your interview into a document<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find a more clear direction on where you want the story angle to take<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frankeinstein is an audio and script edit lingo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 To cut and paste and form a more coherent sentence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool huh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But my journey didn\u2019t end there, in the middle of the week I caught a severe case of the Flu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry its not COVID <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So between snorting, blowing nose, terrible voice and all things I hate about being sick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I welcome the editing tricks and snippets from the amazing Selena, the sharp Erica and the illustrators team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learnt that climate reporting is so important, more so for small island nation like Fiji that is directly affected by it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So thank you NextGenRadio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will cherish my experience, the memories, and the friendship formed on this platform<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a country that lacks the resources, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for choosing us to collaborate with some of the best and upskill our journalistic skills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinaka Vakalevu; This is not goodbye, but I\u2019ll catch you on the flip side kinda thing \u263a <\/p>\n\n\n\n
