The following essay by Jennie Brown, a student of
Chattanooga State Technical, was submitted to NCRA as a part of their NCRA CASE
student scholarship contest (Spring ‘07). Jennie’s words are very thoughtful and inspiring!
A Career That Lights My Fire
No human soul stands
alone. We go to great lengths to
stay connected. Telephone
and cell phone commercials dominate the air waves. Every generation now uses email to stay in touch with
friends and family. Millions of
people brave holiday travel to be reunited with loved ones. The thread of similarity here is the
need to talk with other people and know what is going on in the world around
us.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
By: Leslie
Peeples, RPR, CRI
Southwest Tennessee Community College
They take football very seriously at
my hometown high school. Their
hard work is evident. Our high
school team has been to the state finals two of the last three years and is
ranked number one in the state now. Their practice schedule is grueling. They practice a minimum of four hours a day, six days a
week, ten months out of the year. Extensive workouts in the weight room take up the other two months.

Submitted by Melissa Scheuermann, RPR
Tennessee Career College
When the students
of TCC returned to school in 2007 after an extended break, they came back to
classroom walls loaded with quotations. Hopefully they found inspiration from some, if not a chuckle from
others.

Sir Francis Bacon

school.

Happy 2008! By the time you read this article, we
will be well into 2008. Will we have snow this winter? Will it
be another dry year? Who knows? We cannot see into the future, and
maybe that is a good thing.

Have you ever had those
pesky little vowel problems? Think back to elementary
school: Did you learn to read using the phonics method or was it by
sight or memorization? If you did not learn by phonics, you may have
trouble "hearing" vowel sounds.

Life As A Beginning Reporting Student
Submitted by Katie Noe
Chattanooga State Technical Community College
I'm going to go ahead and say that when someone gets started in the field of
court reporting/captioning, they will have NO idea what they are
doing. I believe that this is the only field of work in the world where
this is the case. Yes, you have a very vague idea (with "Court
reporter? Isn't that the person that writes on a little machine?"
