Since I'm a Senior I try my hardest to not miss any opportunity thrown at me in high school. The opportunity that was given to me and many other students was to be a part of a behind the scene video shoot of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition. This experience I will never forget because it allowed me to work side by side with my teacher and experience a wonderful setting of hardworking people who actually care for the family in need. By working alongside Mrs. Mannion we were lucky enough to learn many things about filming and now we are able to work on our footage. I loved going to the construction area and being apart of the hustle and bustle of the 5 day building of a brand new house. Two other students and I were allowed to go behind the scenes and get a tour of the whole construction area (except for the house of course). We received a tour from Bongo the location director for EMHE. It was really exciting because we got to see into the wood workshop and where all the trucks are parked for all of the production equipment and construction. I was able to film students at Maynard Elementary and Middle School who were making posters for the big day when they were going to "MOVE THAT BUS". It was really cute and fun because they were all so excited for the family and wanted to help as much as they could. Ultimately I will always remember the family and Maynard for their drive and excitement to finish a house in 5 days.
