Conversation With Joe Zito

Joe Zito, a professional in the copier/printing business, spoke with the students this Friday. Joe talked about how to be successful no matter where you come from.

Donald, a senior, wrote about how inspiring Joe was. “Mr. Joe is such an amazing person. He gave us a great conversation that I will remember forever. I am so glad we got that chance to meet and talk with a person as good as he is. When he asked me what I was thinking about achieving, I was thinking about having a family that loves and respects me as I would them, and a nice living area with a job that pays well. I feel like I have a mindset that is close to Mr. Joe’s because the things and topics he was talking about had an immediate impact on me. I really hope that we create a relationship with Mr. Joe so he can come around more.”

Conversation With David Gaudreau

Have you ever thought much about the spaces in which you learn and work? Architect David Gaudreau certainly has. David has helped design projects for many schools and colleges in the area, including Calvert Hall and Morgan State University. He spoke with the students about the process behind an architecture project and different types of architecture.

“This conversation brought a new possible career path that I want to look into. I like building and creating things so everything he described had my attention. I liked hearing the process of what goes into creating buildings. I also found it interesting how he described a solution to the pole matched up pretty close to what I was thinking of. Then finally I learned how curved drywall is laid down, that was really cool,” said 9th grader Jacob.

“I loved today’s conversation with Mr. David Gaudreau. He talked a ton about what he does as an architect, what he helped design and build, his family business, and taught us a thing or two on the Architecture field. What was also good was that we learned about his favorite designs and projects he worked on. We would love to see him come back soon and possibly help us build a recording studio in the future. He has definitely persuaded me to work in some part of the architectural field while in the engineering field as well,” Sean, a junior, said about the discussion.
