Little is Known...

There are a couple names that I can throw at you and you will instantly get a feeling of inspiration and appreciation, maybe even respect for their journey. However if I said Laura Diaz you probably wouldn't know who that is. The words Laura Diaz, Anchor would never flow together in your mind but she actually is an anchor for CBS. For someone that is one television on a daily basis with a smile on her face, she has a story that wasn't as pleasant as people may assume. She didn't have the strong background and she wasn't bred to be in the media industry, she had to work hard for everything that she has today. Her parents worked hard so that she could have better opportunities than they did. Diaz was not only the first female lead anchor for her television station but she was also the first hispanic to achieve that. Not to add she is an eight time Emmy award winner. CBS anchor Laura Diaz has not had it easy but through it all she has triumphed and she has not forgotten it. She is down to earth and very appreciative of everything that she has accomplished. Her work and her achievements stand as a constant reminder to people of hispanic descent everywhere that if you work hard and pursue the goal that you wish to achieve nothing is possible. If you remember nothing else today remember this, CBS anchor Laura Diaz.
