Hello Hello!
A few weeks ago my Dad Skyped me and told me that CNN/HLN was doing this project called “I am America” where you tell your unique 30 second story on why your American story is…well…American. He enthusiastically pushed me to try it out. I was too crazy about though. iReporting was his thing. Not mine, but right after speaking with him I did a quick iReport (shown below) and thought nothing of it.
After doing this iReport I received an email from one of the CNN producers a day later asking me for an interview. I was so surprised! Out of the thousands that were entered, I was one of the few that was picked. The producer and I did a quick interview and all was set. She then asked me for pictures and video. A week later, she notified me that I had a slot of about 2 minutes to be aired on HLN. Like whaaa???? I was beaming about my future short lived fame as were my parents. The clip finally aired today on HLN. Maybe I should do this more often! So, here it is! My two minutes of my life, family and fame!
