Working with WHRO has been a fulfilling experience. Growing up as a kid with a heavily Christian mother, I was hid from a lot. Especially some content showed on the television. Maybe that's why I'm so weird? Who knows. It was great to work with something that I grew up on. I would watch public television daily. I remember sometimes I played sick from school just so I could watch my favorite show, Caillou. Let's just call it dedication, okay? Even my mother watched public television regularly. I would always look at the people on tv watching them pick up the phones. I didn't really understand the whole concept back then, but now it's cool I can say I was apart of that. Not only did my mother hide me from a lot but we also didn't have a lot of money. If it wasn't for public television I wouldn't of gotten to watch such great cartoons, that are not only great but educational as well. I'm glad that they're still around for any other kid that was in the position I was in. As I look down at the generations, even my generation for petes sake, I don't see it going very well. I believe the learners become more advanced but I also see the dumb get dumber with every decision. Working with WHRO I have learned that they are very motivated to work on their educational emphasis. Even there goals for the future are to create more educational products. I think it's wonderful that they want to help the children of tomorrow. 

Some people are fully dedicated to working with WHRO. I would see the same faces constantly. I think public television and public radio is crucial to keep around. Not only is it commercial free which is viewer friendly, but they have so much to offer the recipient. From anywhere to music, to religion, to culture, or to educational programming, Public Broadcasting has it all.
