The triple play that knocked out negativity: non-profit Triple Play Foundation on helping the community
In the span of three years, Brian Gamsey lost four of his closest friends, but he’s keeping their memories alive with the Triple Play Foundation. “In baseball a triple play is when a team makes three outs in one play, it’ something special,” said Gamsey, founder and executive director of the Triple Play Foundation.
Following faith to Georgia: Macy Spottswood on becoming president
When Macy Spottswood was in her small town high school in Point Clear, Alabama, an old Alabama player, Siran Stacy, came to speak to Spottswood’s school about motivation one day. Spottswood enjoyed the talk and afterwards was on her way to her car when she felt the need to go back. “I really wanted to go home but I felt a tug to go back, I needed to go back, He was pulling me back,” says Spottswood.
Grady LA Week 7
This week I’m combining my regular week post with internship post because this week has all blended together.
First off I can’t thank my mom enough. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be here and wouldn’t feel so comfortable living across the country without her support. I’m also thankful for my boss, Megan, for being the best internship coordinator. Last but not least I want to thank Andres.
Grady LA Week 6
This week, like every week on this program, was amazing and exhausting. We all got to go on the set of The Fosters, talk to people who work on it, attempted to go to Let’s Make a Deal, attended an alumni mixer at the Four Seasons, went to Outfest for a movie premiere, and talked to the people behind making 10,000KM aka the movie which broke my heart.
Grady LA Internship Week 6
This week at my internship I have continued with the research. It’s all interesting which makes the fact that I don’t think I can talk about it worse.
Grady LA Week 5
This week in LA our Grady group watched 10,000 KM, the horror movie The Curtain followed by a Q&A with the director, attended the UGA Alumni Mixer, saw a live taping of The Soup, and watched the documentary Next followed by a talk with the director, Elia Urquiza, and another documentary maker, Rocio Mesa. Needless to say, it’s been a jam packed week.
Grady LA Internship Week 5
This week at Revelations it was very research heavy but I loved it. It can sometimes get overwhelming but there’s something so cool knowing that what I’m doing can directly effect the show.
Grady LA Internship Week 4
This week in the office I finally let go of my phone anxiety (mostly…) and was able to feel much more secure transferring lines. When talking about answering phones it sounds like a boring task but it gave me a chance to really meet everyone in the office because to give everyone their messages and transfer all their calls. I also worked more on my tv pitch.
Grady LA Week 4
4th of July! It’s my favorite holiday and one that I normally spend with my family but this year was spent with my friends. It was also the World Cup finals which broke TV records according to Fox. The USA women’s team win was the perfect ending to the most patriotic weekend of the year.
