A defining moment in David Muir’s life<\/h3>\n
Pursuing journalism felt natural to him, and he recalled how he started “writing letters to the local reporters” in his town. They responded with offers for internships.<\/p>\n
“I began interning, carrying all the equipment \u2014 and back then the equipment was huge and heavy \u2014 and I’d jump into the back of the cruiser and I was honestly the happiest kid,” he said. “Most kids were looking forward to summer vacation and I couldn’t wait to get into the back seat of that cruiser all over again.”<\/p>\n
Looking back, he touts this as a defining moment in his life. “I dove headfirst and I was just lucky enough to have people around me who weren’t turned off by the kid intern,” Muir explained.<\/p>\n
Muir graduated from Ithaca College with a degree in journalism, and began his career working at local news stations in Boston and Syracuse.<\/p>\n
Today, Muir has developed a massive fan following across the world.<\/p>\n
He noted how he loves “when people come up to” him and “interact”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
