“Everybody has a story. And there is something to be learned from every experience.”
– Oprah Winfrey
I am Kennedy Beltran and I am a junior, majoring in Communication at CSULB. One of my biggest passions in life is Pop Culture.
Growing up, I had a major interest in everything in Hollywood. I would watch E! News and every entertainment broadcaster on my local news channels. I would also read blogs, such as Perez Hilton, to make sure I was up to date with everything. I was captivated about what really happened in Hollywood; when the Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston love triangle emerged, I told everybody I knew about the details on the drama. It was everything to me.
Although I was 7 years old, I knew that my job in the future would be an Entertainment Broadcast Reporter/Interviewer.
As I got older I started watching different reporters interview different celebrities. I studied their interviewing techniques and styles and I realized everyone had their own. For instance, Howard Stern has a completely different style than Barbara Walters. Eventually, I adapted my own, so when I begin interviewing celebrities, I will be prepared.
I still continue to watch E! News and my local news to be updated on what’s happening in the world. However, I try to be updated on sports by watching at least an hour of SportsCenter and Inside the NBA on TNT.
Being up to date with everything in the news is very important to me. I hope I will become a reliable reporter, which celebrities will feel comfortable to speak to me.
