“Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be      . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future      . Each of you will have to      someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This      I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him      able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?”
I shook my head.
“How about some      ?”
I shook my head again.
Finally, I thought he realized I was      , and I got my first big tip as a      . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you’ll run into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I          Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn’t         me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and      all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me: it was in my blood. It gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was     .
For the past 12 years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career,      stories from murders to airplane crashes and      choosing my strongest area. When I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been for Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
I was      all the time: “How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher …” I always start out. I just wish I could thank her.
