My first day at the Democratic National Convention

As a Scholastic News Kid Reporter, my latest assignment is to cover the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the early hours of the morning of September 4, when most of Atlanta was still asleep, my dad and I began our trip to the airport and ultimately to Charlotte, finally landing at the Charlotte airport by late morning. A little while later, we met up with Scholastic editors Dante and Kristen who had arrived from New York only minutes after we had. After renting a car for the four of us, we headed towards the convention center in downtown Charlotte.
