Hey NEPA, as you may have heard from my interview with Frankie or WBRE, I will be in Washington D.C. during the inauguration and have been blessed with the opportunity to report back on all the political happenings associated with this historic event. Since my voice will be falling on your early morning, not quite awake ears, I think it would be wise for me to just let you know a little more about me. I am David Cook, and again, no not the American Idol Winner, even though I do consider myself just as charming. I’ve grown up in Wilkes-Barre, and have grown close to the city even though she has her faults. Further, I am outspoken and try to add a bit of humor to every situation. I think we need to laugh more…there is a lot going on in the world, and most of it isn’t pleasant news, so really we need to enjoy the small funny things that happen, the little jokes and such, because when we feel better about the small things, the big issues don’t always seem as bad. Now that I’ve digressed on that little tidbit I’ll hop back on track by saying that I believe I am indebted to all of you who are reading this blog, and are welcoming me into your lives for the next couple weeks.Because I am so grateful to all of you, I want to know what you want to know about in regard to the election, politics, my political views, almost anything that you can think of. Post a comment on my blog or Email me at David.cook@wilkes.edu, and I will try to respond in my next blog to as many people as I can.
Also, be sure to check back regularly for updates on my inauguration plans, there are a lot of big things in the works, and as I find out more I want all of you to find out more. I don’t just view my trip to D.C. as my trip, but as a trip for all of NEPA where we can all share in this momentous occasion, and all feel like we are a part of it, even if we can not all be there. Many of us felt connected in a special way during this election, and I would like to see us carry it through the inauguration and far beyond.
Again I thank all of you for giving me this great opportunity and I look forward to all of your questions and comments.
About Me
- David Cook
- I am a Freshman at Wilkes University where I am majoring in English and Communications. I am also involved in the Debate team where I have won several awards in Policy Debate. My ultimate desire is to go to law school and become a lawyer. Outside of school, I have an unhealthy obsession with music, I play both piano and drums and will listen to any cd that is thrown in front of me.
Hi, it is great to read about this occasion. I really appreciate your time and the effort to represent the NEPA in this momentary thing.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to mention about the simling issue you talked about. It is really good to have a smily face and to bring happiness to make other people laugh. We, indeed, need to do samll things to bring out joy to other to make them smile.
Good luck with covering that occasion, and let us know what do you think/your political view.
Thanks,
Sary
