 This is Alec…isn’t he handsome?! Alec is completing his last semester of the Bethesda College program at Concordia University – Wisconsin. He has been enjoying the college life and looking forward to what life has in store for him next. He has been very busy!!! Alec is the Buddy Director of Best Buddies at Concordia University, where last semester he took Drawing Fundamentals and Communication Skills in addition to Bethesda College classes.

He loves watching sports and especially the Packers, Michigan State basketball, and all sports at his college, which is no surprise since he has been an athlete most of his life. Alec also enjoys swimming and running track, and lettered in both sports in high school. He competed in track, snowshoeing, and basketball in Special Olympics! This is a selfie of Alec, and his friends Rach and Megan at a CUW Basketball game a few weeks ago. My selfies never turn out this good. Just sayin.

This semester he is taking Badmitton and World View History.
He really, really loves it there. Once he graduates he wants to work at a restaurant and live with a roommate in his own apartment. I have no doubt he will keep reaching for the stars and going for his dreams!!

Keep on rockin’ it Alec!
