Career Day 2023 Featured Many Alumni Speakers
“I was most interested in Mrs. Ana Cuervo, a broadcaster on Telemundo since I want to pursue journalism. It was an amazing experience to be able to listen to her advice. She inspired me when she explained how it is to tell someone else’s story and how you have to empathize and really live in the story. She also talked of how she prays to help herself get through the exposure of sadness and burdens which really stayed with me.
“From Mrs. Ana Cuervo-Sanchez, I learned that being bilingual goes a very long way in the news and reporting world. Many times, she records the same report twice, one in English and one in Spanish. This makes her stand out as a reporter and gives her a step up in comparison to those who are not bilingual,” said junior Alexandra Perez.
“From Mr. David Rodriguez I learned that being a reporter/ recorder is similar to being a police man/women. When called to report an urgent incident, reporters must immediately arrive to the scene and report the news to the world. If when called, they do not answer, the reporter will lose work and the job will go to the next reporter available,” added Alexandra.
