On Enter Flash News: 005 HarlemLIVE

The Award ceremony wasn't just about prizes or winning. It was saying goodbye to some great people and an extraordinary summer . It was the refection of what the students became. It was the hard work and accomplishments that the timid could only dream of. The students took this Media challenge to win and from Harlem Live they received lessons in life that no trophy or prize could ever give them. The whole summer came down to these moments. Everyone had the same question. Who was this seasons number one team? Before I tell you the end I want to tell you how it all began.

This summer was no less than unforgettable. There was never a dull moment. It wasn't dram free but all the students came out of this program looking to pass the limits. Every ones eyes were opened to new experiences that made this summer one to write down in there history books. These Kids took the rudder of destiny and guided themselves to a better future. They weren't perpetuating the stereotypes of the media, They took Harlem Live as there medium to portray themselves as write, editors, and multi-media Titan. Some of the students came to this program as just another job, or paycheck. They got hell of a lot more and when I hear the cynics talk about there is no hope for the future I laugh because they haven't seen the talent that will run laps around them. Who would of thought that the next leaders of the nation emerged from a basement in Harlem. In time these students in the basement will be what the next generation will want to be based off.

This is not were the story ends. this is the moment you all have been waiting for. who is this year's Media challenge winner? Team Ambush, they put there hearts and souls into this competition. No student left that night empty handed. The students will be the next alumni to lead the publication to new highs. As we all know awards are great but theirs nothing like some good food. There was no peanut butter and to be found. Everyone had a splendid evening... Rosa never got that spa coupon but she came to the ceremony in a limo and dress that Cinderella would smash pumpkins about. This season was unforgettable and I think that next will just get better.
