Charmaine Smith - Spring 2000
News non-stop. That's why I wanted to come to Washington, D.C.. I started writing news stories in high school as a challenge. And ever since, I'm always looking for new heights in journalism. When I master one set of skills or kinds of stories, I get restless. I want to keep growing. This internship will prove to be just that for me. A new challenge. I'm a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Yulee, Fla., is my hometown and the South is my birthplace. But European countries are where I feel truly at home. I've visited five countries and lived in two -- Denmark and the Netherlands
