#6 Beneath the Surface
When I first moved to Toronto, I had no job. It was a massive risk coming to a new and expensive city without proper resources, and yet that is what I did. I’ve always been a risk-taker, and for the most part, I’ve been lucky enough that things have tended to work out okay. Shortly after I arrived to the city, I had an in-person interview that went quite well. The energy between me and the person who was to become my boss was very good, and despite the fact that I failed the local news test I was asked to take, I passed the grammar test just fine. Most importantly, I was told later, my responses to situational questions were good; apparently, I had sound journalistic instincts.
