So what is WHRO?

 WHRO is a non-profit public broadcasting station here in Virginia, serving Hampton roads with both radio and television. WHRO was founded in 1961 and has become more and more popular as PBS had come about. All of us remember growing up watching Sesame Street right? If it wasn't for public broadcasting there might not be an Elmo! Not only does WHRO create both radio and television but they also provide many educational services. Not only for younger kids but also for people looking to get graduate credit in college. They have online courses and hands on workshops. WHRO is really here for the public to serve them with every educational need. The thing is, public broadcasting is not cheap. Everything cost money and money doesn't grow on trees. Since WHRO is a non-profit organization, they relay a lot of the helps of volunteers to help get things done. They also relay a lot on us, the people to help contribute, monthly or yearly...or sometimes just make that one time donation. Every penny counts, which mean every penny adds up. Sometimes there are big time donors who contribute a substantial amount and then there are some people who only donate twenty dollars. No matter how much or how little, that money is put towards creating the best public broadcasting they can.

And it begins..

My first day of WHRO started with the talk of an old man who had quite the personality. As we patiently waited to start our duties for the day he talked about how he has been in show business for about 86 years. He seemed quite dedicated to what he did. Not only was he in show business but he was in a commercial for the Superbowl! As we were called to the backroom another volunteer had joined us to help us eat the food WHRO had provided for us. Mmmm chinese. My first experience at WHRO wasn't the most exciting and actually a little boring but the staff was so welcoming and kind. For my first volunter duty with WHRO I was required to call multiple people and ask if they would like to donate money to WHRO. For the greater part of the time, I kept on getting voice-mail. It made the job quite easy, but also quite boring. Some people kept it interesting during the calls. I remember this one lady didn't like that she had received a call and spelled out a very nasty word to me. I was shocked how rude people can be when they can politely say no. Someone had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. I had called around 200 people that night and I swear less than half had answered the phone.

So, I went up to go to the bathroom...and look at what I found in there...

Hairy-spray? Kept in the public bathroom for the ladies? Haha okay...never seen that done before.

I find simple things funny.
