While there are too many highlights to share in just one article, one final story deserves telling. Students attended ABC's Good Morning America program as VIP guests. When the show ended at 9 AM, they took pictures with the hosts and guests, and then went upstairs for a short tour. Host Charlie Gibson was still at his studio desk, and he invited the students to talk with him. Students spent about twenty minutes with him, learning about his work, his life and his philosophy.

Someone rushed in with a breaking news story that they were going to put on the air live. Gibson invited the students to stay, so they got to watch him and co-anchor Kate Snow write the story and re-work their opening introductions and news stories in just minutes. After watching it go on the air perfectly, the students were leaving the studio when they again ran into Gibson, who gave them a personal tour of the control room.

As one student said, "This trip was just one great visit after another, and each one was educational and interesting. It has made me look at my education and what I want to do with my life."
