Talk at EVT

I spoke at a local High School May 9th. Eastern Tech is Baltimore County's answer to Poly. The students (juniors) were Engineering students on a college track. I didn't have much formally prepared except going over my path to Engineering and then my career. The students were prepared with question and they seemed very intelligent and ready to take their next step. I went over my education and jobs. One of the things I stressed it to make the most of your opportunities. No one is going to hand you anything but opportunities. Your job is to see them and take advantage of what you are presented. I had thought about exploring engineering as a sample project, but they were interested in what college classes are like and what to expect once there. I also took this time to stress getting along with your team and the importance of networking. As I left I offered to return to talk to other classes and I also asked the students to stay in touch with me as they move forward in their lives. It was fun and I really enjoyed talking to them and I hope they found my words helpful.
