Reporting is about gathering facts, never losing your curiosity and always maintaining your skepticism. There were days back when I was an editor at Ka Leo when I would have doubts about whether journalism was for me. Then I'd sit down and have a chat with Bonnie. Bonnie would say. You don' t want to do that.
Journalism is where it's at.
You do stories. Sometimes you do stories that will inform people. Sometimes you do stories that will help people. Bonnie made you believe that there never could be anything better than being a journalist. She touched the lives of students in Washington State, Hawai ' i, China and Samoa.
