Thursday June 14: The Reid Group



Yesterday, was a fun-filled day for the Reid Group.  We headed to Ditch Plains for lunch, which gave us time to bond as we walked the streets of New York. From laughing, to singing there was a sense of closeness that I really didn't notice til now.

We finally arrived to Ditch Plains, which is an amazing restaurant. The host ends up putting us in a round table were we all were squeezed tightly together. This gave us more opportunity to build our relationship even more as the Reid Group. There are so many personalities, and we all come from different backgrounds, so you wold think there would be a moment were we clash and next thing you know its that awkward separation. Well not for the Reid Group and thats why I admire these young women.


We're not perfect, we do have our moments of disagreement but with a professional mindset, we understood to not let anything interfere with the internship. We ordered our food, discuss about the internship, laughed about our subway experience, and news that affected us. I reflected on how we looked and sounded like real media professionals.



As we headed back to 30 Rock, Lauren Fluker designated nicknames for us based on the Reid Group experience. Mine of course is "Robin", like Batman's sidekick because my role is the assistant. Lauren F. is "Nightclub" given by Ms. Reid because she is always talking going out since we landed in NY. Lauren A. is "Suga Mama" because when we head back to the dorms lights are out and she is always the first one sleep. Destinee known as "Say What..?" because of her soft spoken voice, Briana; "Stay Scheming" insider of how she got that one, Michelle and Ciara names are similar, "Columbo and Navigator because they always make sure we get to out destination, than "Powerhouse" for Chivone" because of her accomplishment at the Grio; having her article published online on the first day of her internship. Somehow Sequoyah and Aleisha share the same nickname "Silent Assassin" because they are very quiet yet they are hard workers. Lastly, Brishaun also known as "Gangsta Boo" because her favortie thing to say is Rick Ross infamous rap lyric, "You wasn't with me when we was shooting in the gym."




Needless to say, in a hour and half for lunch we were able to enjoy ourselves and create a closer relationship as the Reid Group.
