Carly Williams decided to become a TV reporter when she was in Grade 6. “ One day, we went out into forest and did some reporting about forest fires,” Carly said. “ Ever since then, I have loved the job and I have been trying to do it as much as I can.”
Now 15, Carly reports for the news program at her school. And she has interviewed many famous people including some famous basketball players and TV stars.
“Carly is a great student and I am sure she will achieve her dream in the future,” said one of Carly’s teachers.
Last month the happiest thing for Carly was that she got a call from Teen Kids News in New York. She sent them some films she made by herself for the school news program. Teen Kids News is on over 200 TV stations around the USA. The producer of the show said he liked Carly’s films and asked if Carly would make a film for them.
“ All I could say was, yes, yes, yes!” Carly said. “ I didn’t even think for a second.”
Carly spent five days learning something about Teen Kids News in New York. She also visited a person who was a reporter for Teen Kids News and got some advice.
Her first task was to interview an artist in New York. Carly said she worried about working with a new team because she wanted to impress the producer. Although under great pressure, she did a wonderful job.
“Carly has gotten to do some pretty amazing things,” said Carly’s mother. “For her to get that taste of it was pretty cool.”
