My name is Juan Anguiano. I am a senior journalism student at Columbia College Chicago. I am addicted to the news. I live and breathe news in english and spanish. In a city like Chicago there is always something going on. I not only focus in on Chicago, but the world outside of Chicago. I am one of those people, those people that tell stories and tell them well, some may call them journalist.

Mi nombre es Juan Anguiano. Estoy en mi ultimo ano de colegio en Columbia College en Chicago. Soy adicto a las noticias y los medios de communicacion. En una ciudad como Chicago siempre hay noticias. No nomas me enfoco en Chicago pero en el mundo afuera de Chicago. Yo soy una desas personas, desas personas que dicen estorias y lo dicen bien, unas personas les llaman periodistas.

November 4th- The longest day of my life…..

I went into my internship one day at Azteca America, just an average old day right? Wrong, I was told by my boss, that they would need me to help them that day. Not only that but I, yes I Juan Anguiano will receive OFFICIAL, YES OFFICIAL press credentials! WHAT! No way! Me? The kid who went to school on the south side of Chicago? a farmer high school? an “artsy” college? son of Mexican immigrants? Really?

Well yes its true. I had to give out my social and all, and when I did that I know that it was serious. I had to ask for the day off at work even to do this. I am not going to miss this opportunity to be among the best journalist in the WORLD and me, Juan Anguiano, will be there reporting LIVE with them? I still can’t believe it. I love my internship and I love what I do. I wish I could do it after school and get paid a hefty salary to do it.

It will be one of the longest days of my life, but I’m sure I can do it. If this does not impress a prospective employer, I don’t know what will. Juan Anguiano representing Columbia College Chicago, HJC, and all those who say it can’t happen, it can happen!
