Instead of trying to go the rout most think of such as singer, actor, song writer or director, Turner hopes to immerse himself in the world of show biz through his chosen profession of journalism.
Turner a student at Anne Arundel Community College, says he would be satisfied covering any branch of the news, but he has a special passion for the entertainment world.
“I love reading up on the latest gossip and celebrity news because I think it's fascinating to see people you see perfected in movies, music, and television - have more drama and conflicts in their real lives than we do.” Turner said via email interview.
Turner’s zeal for journalism, can be traced back to his father, Leonard Turner Sr., who started out as a camera man and is now an editor at Comcast Sportsnet.
Turner confirmed that constantly being around that environment throughout his childhood played a big role in his choice to enter the journalistic field.
After graduating high school from the Western School of Technology & Environmental Science in Baltimore County, Turner enrolled at AACC, were he began to take courses that would aid him in his journalism career. He is also involved with the school news paper.
Upon graduating from AACC, Turner hopes to transfer to a full time university, such as University of Maryland College Park, or Towson. His time table for after college is still a little vague for him, but he knows he definitely wants to be involved with the media upon graduation.
His long-term goal however, remains the same. To cover the flamboyant lives of the stars who give life to America’s vast entertainment world. To go from the boy who grew up watching the man behind the camera, to the man who will bring to light the lives of those in front of it.
