My first reflection: by Kathy Vega
This is my second month at GK and it has definitely been a great experience thus far. 
I'm learning about the challenges of recruitment for our VVP program and the competition that we have to deal with. Makes me wonder--how else we can begin to sell the VVP program in order to beat the competition? I think that selling it as a program where students can not only have fun making movies, but can also fulfill their community may help increase our numbers. I noticed that alot of students wanted to take dance classes or they were only concerned with fulfilling their community hours after school.
I've also been enjoying editing the videos, although its fun to see how you can spice things up, I had forgotten what it was like to wait for videos to renderrrr and uplooooad and troubleshoot. Although it has been a challenge I already feel more confident about my editing skills. I also like the fact that I can lose myself in these editing projects and forget all my little worries in life.
I'm looking forward to my first VVP workshop on Thursday. Working with the kids should add some fun and variety to my day. I'm also looking forward to my first conference in LA. that would be a totally new experience for me.
