Giving our all

Brian Aguilar, left, and teammates compete in Newsmania, a news game.



It's a good bit of advice: "Write every obituary like it's never been written before," Manny Lopez, a 1994 CQ alum, said to the Spring Scholars this morning at our final forum discussion ("Talking to your editors/peers").

Manny wanted us to know that we should always try to do our best and give our all during our internships. Considering it's the last day of the CQS orientation weekend, I’ll keep those words in mind this summer when I join the Contra Costa Times.

As Jack Marsh (vice president/diversity programs for the Freedom Forum), sitting next to Manny, said a moment later, "Amen, Manny."
