Thank You NPR

I just posted a short thank you video to NPR and its fans because of the effect that their support had on my attitude towards social media.

I realized that my discovering the NPR video discussing my creation of the NPR Facebook page was a pivotal moment in my thinking about my future career. It was then that I thought I should thank those whose reaction inspired my change of heart. This is that thank you message:
