Alex Waters presentation
In his presentation last night, Alex Waters made a strong point to start building your resume now as a freshman. I agree with this because the more activities and clubs your in, in college the easier it is for you to get a job post college. I think this because when looking for a job the employer always ask about previous job experience or community service and if one person has that past experinces and the other one doesn’t. More than likely the person with past job experience will get the job. I agree with Alex because if you don’t start builing your resume now then it will just be harder for you and take longer for you to get your “dream job”.
Alex also made it a point to have a back up job just in case your “dream job” doesn’t work out for you, like you planned. I look up to Alex because of how he has such a positive outlook on life even if he has a minor set back by being in a wheelchair. He could mope around all day but he is so happy and positive. Last night, the whole time Alex was telling his story, I was thinking of a kid in my hometown who broke his C5 vertibrae last winter. I thought about how big a change he had endured and hope he would have such a positive outlook on life, just as Alex did. I feel like Alex could be a positive role model to everyone, in a wheelchair or not.
