Describe yourself.
I (Erik Alatorre) am someone who is easy to get along with. If you approach me with open arms I’ll show the same in return because it’s just the type of person I am. I am calm and collected when need-be but the side of me that likes to talk to people in groups has helped me tremendously in the past few years. I know that I’m smart and capable as a student and with the right mentality I can accomplish just about anything. I’m also the mediator, or the tie breaker, in most of the circles I’ve been in and I’ve enjoyed it because it gives me a sense of power.
Describe yourself as a writer.
I (Erik Alatorre) like to think of myself as a really good writer. I honestly believe that I write better than I speak. There is something about the freedom of writing vs speaking and letting your mind run on that excites me. There are no restriction as to what you can write about, in public speaking however, you have to censor yourself because you don’t want to offend your audience. I like to follow outlines as they help me jot down ideas and just incorporate my own little twists that bring it all together.
