Adventures Of An EPICS Intern: ‘Exposure’ A Snapshot Of A Television Academy Intern
by Cat Davidson
There is not just one word to describe my experience this summer. But if I was forced (kicking and screaming) to shove it all into one word, I would say: 
Exposure! Like a camera opening it’s lens to the world, I have been fortunate enough to capture an amazing picture of what it is like to work for a successful television show!
But let’s take it back, just a month or two before I knew I was to snap that image. It was not too long ago that I was sitting in front of my computer, gazing at my email, hoping that one of the 10 to 15 internships I had applied for responded back with positive news. When I received the call from the Television Academy Foundation, I was ecstatic, jumping up an down in the middle of the street. Literally! But when my feet hit the ground, anxiety, nerves, and a whole bunch of other thoughts and feelings crowded my brain. What if I’m not good enough? What if they made a mistake? Are they sure they want me? Will I make a good impression? I think that these are normal fears that come into a persons mind when they have been chosen among a large pool of qualified applicants. And so, out of respect to those who had applied and had not gotten the chance, I decided to give it my all. Take my fears and march head strong towards my dream. And so I was LA bound.
