Still nothing in the room could even compare to the electricity and energy HarlemLive brought to Bloomberg. We're the voices of the future and we came to make a difference. Our goal here at Bloomberg is to experience the real world events that occur with professional journalists. We feel that the our presence at Bloomberg will emphasize our mission to encourage youth towards higher education and career goals using technology, journalism and exposure in diverse environments. We're going to make ourselves known in Bloomberg. HarlemLive is going to show New York that we could still produce quality stories from wherever we are, whether it is in Harlem or not and they’re going to respect us for that.

Later on, a few staff members and I went around the Bloomberg complex and networked ourselves. We handed our flyers to the local Bloomberg staff and gave them a brief introduction on HarlemLive and what we do. After the hard work, of letting Bloomberg know we're in the house, the HL staff and I went to one the best feature in the Bloomberg Building, the FOOD COURT!!! Some of the staff and I went and treated ourselves to some food. Besides our office area, the miniature kitchen on our floor is the most visited spot in the Bloomberg Building for HarlemLive and Bloomberg’s staff on the 19th floor.

Later that day, things cooled down until it was time to leave. In fact, none of the HarlemLive staff (including myself) wanted to leave the building. We had a tremendous view of the city lights in the night, looking down on the fully lit Queens Bridge and cars in the streets. Eventually the few of us that were left at HarlemLive took the 6 train at the 59th Street train station to our various destinations.

Overall, my first day at Bloomberg was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed every second of it, from the heavy security, the food, the Bloomberg staff, the high tech computer equipment and even the crazy elevator ride. Our stay at Bloomberg will help us grow and become an even stronger organization. HarlemLive is here, we're LIVE and we're BLOWING UP, BABY!!!
