"Ms. Pearson inspired my mother to study the broadcast/journalism field many,
many years ago. I have been motivated to also reach goals and make a difference
in television and radio like Mrs. Pearson.

I've been watching Monica Pearson on TV since I was 5. Back then, I knew her as Monica Kaufman.
From watching her news reports daily, I developed an interest in journalism and broadcasting.
I enjoy the events in life that make each day different. Ms. Pearson will help me gain more knowledge
on my career path....I can't wait.

It would be my honor to celebrate Monica Pearson's 35th anniversary with WSB-TV by attending this
symposium. I admire her unbiased presentations of the
news and her unwavering dedication to the community. Thank you for this invitation.

I am interested in exploring career opportunities as a sports broadcaster or analyst. I have had
an interest in this field since 5th grade when I served as anchor of our school broadcast program.
I had the whole studio experience including camera operation, editing and directing.
