Erin Interviewed Anthony Shriver for our film!
As you all remember our blogger Erin has a dream to become a journalist and our team together with the wonderful executives at The Arc of NOVA decided to give her some opportunities to see how she would really like this position.
The opportunity came when Timothy Shriver (Chairman and CEO of the Special Olympics) was receiving a special award from the Arc of NOVA to honor his support for the organization (http://thearcofnova.org/gala2010/). Erin was able to meet with Mr. Shriver at the Special Olympics offices and ask him questions related to the Arc of NOVA’s successful successful campaign called “A Life Like Yours”. We were all touched by Mr. Shriver’s encouragements to “live the life that we each have with dignity and make the best out of it”.
A few days after this event, Erin had another amazing opportunity, and this time she interviewed Anthony Shriver, the Founder and Chairman of Best Buddies, an organization supporting children and young adults with intellectual disabilities in more than 50 countries. We will let you judge Erin’s performance as an interviewer when our documentary Coded Generations is released but for now we can say that we were very impressed and proud of our wonderful colleague.
We are thrilled to have been able to witness Erin’s interviews as they confirm once more that given the opportunity, one can make the efforts to meet expectations. Please take a few minutes to check what Erin has to say about her experiences on her blog: www.codedgenerations.com/erin.
