Barbara Walters was born on September 25, 1929. Barbara has claimed that it was 1931 in an interview that she did. When she was growing up her father had a club that had famous dancers. Walters stated that being around them all the time when visiting that she got over the starstruck stage. In 1951 she received a Bachelor's Degree in English from Sarah Lawrence college. She began to produce a 15 children's program called Ask The Camera. She was a host for a show but later left for the personal problem with her boss. Barbara had a job on The Today Show and ABC News Evening News and 20/20. Barbara Walters was in total won or was nominated for 24 awards. She won 4 awards for her out of her 24. I pick Barbara Walters to write about because she wants to find the truth. She wanted to know why people did the things they have done. I watched 20/20 and…show more content… She did many jobs and I have seen her on some but I remember her from 20/20. Speaking to some of the most dangerous people probably in the world and she did not let them intimated her. Almost everyone wants to know the truth but they do not always look for it. That drive to find the truth to want to know the reason that a person has for there actions, that is being a journalist. It is not about the best story or what makes you famous it is about finding the truth and that is what she did. She wanted the answers to her question the good the bad and anything in between. Not many people could set across the room from the people that she had if they had to let alone want to. I admire Barbara Walters because she has done things that I do not know if I could do. Doing just some of the things that she has done could change a person's life but she was fearless in her pursuit to the truth. I think that if more people had the drive that she had then there might be more reporter or journalist for younger generations to look up
