As we drove up to the studio, with our nerves up to our throats, we rehearsed in our heads. When we arrived the doors opened, we walked in and were met by Mari. Mari was very nice and gave us a tour of the whole building, which to my understanding was also the Telemundo network building. I was amazed by all the recognizable faces I saw on posters hanging on the wall. Since my future goal is to become a journalist, I enjoyed sitting on their news desk and have the perspective of the anchor who reads the news off the teleprompter every night. The time was going by fast and our host Abelardo arrived. Abelardo is a very charismatic guy who gladly encouraged us to get the information out on a more convincing tone and attitude. Lights! Camera! Action! We began our taping. I was so nervous that I began to stutter. I realized that and fixed it… T.V. is truly timeless, because you might feel that your pants are burning, but as soon as you realize time, an hour has gone by. Once we finished we felt relieved and we felt famous. Okay, maybe not famous… but it was a good feeling to inform the community on current issues that concern us all. I’m sure many people at home stopped and looked at their TVs and listened to us.
