WASHINGTON COMES TO WASHINGTON.
Sarah Elizabeth Guevara recently with ABC News and now with MSNBC from Washington D C visited with the Journalist class and the Competition Shake class on October 4th.
Guevara fielded multiple questions from the young journalist as well as shared stories about being a political journalist in Washington DC. She emphasized getting a good education, the importance of being a good writer and communicating well.
In Shake class she taught the students how to write a thank you note, practiced proper hand shakes, and discussed dressing as a professional.
Guevara stated she wants to leave the students with a simple message, “Treat everyone with equal respect and always give back to your community.”
