Review of Making It Out of High School
"Making it out of high school" is a vox pop about what student's plan to do with their lives after their senior year. It was interesting to hear all of the different plans and suprisingly, there was a huge variety. While one kid said they were going to college, the next said they wanted to be a hobo.
I really enjoyed listening to this piece because the different voice clips really flowed well together. It is difficult to edit a piece and not make it choppy when you have a lot of different voices, but the producer didn't have any problems with this.
