He is an average 16-year-old guy doing the regular teen-age stuff, but what makes this East Bakersfield High School senior stand out is that he loves to have fun.
His name is Daniel Cacopardo and he likes to play basketball, football and enjoys skateboarding.
He plans to become a reporter and cover sports because he likes it best.
“I plan to take Chick Hearn’s job for the L.A. Lakers or to become a newscaster,” he said.
He said there is a lot to do in Bakersfield, but it gets “too hot.”
Cacopardo’s interest in the workshop was sparked by his grandfather, who knew that he liked to write, so he looked into the program.
