My first byline! (hopefully)

Last week I was on vacation in southern Virginia where the only thing I worked on was my tan, so it was a little difficult to get back into the swing of things here at my internship. But right when I walked in and I had an inbox full of emails, I was excited to back into the action.
 For the first part of my internship I have mostly been doing things like updating fact files and making slick sheets for different aircrafts. While yes I learned a lot from those assignments I was really itching to do something that would be put in the Tester.
 My mentor, Marcia Hart, knew this and got me a story and infographic that I could do to be put in the Tester. Now the story is no hard hitting news story, just a little thing about bicycling safety. But I was still so excited just to get the chance to write. My infographic will go with my story and it just talks about the health benefits of bicycling.
 I turned in both my story and infographic a few days ago and I really hope that it makes in to the Tester. I am not journalism major so I have never had any of my work put in a newspaper and I have never had an official byline. So hopefully later when I pick up the Tester I can point to a piece of work in it and say "yeah that's my work".
