On the last repeating date ever in history, it's not everyone that will describe that day as one they got to be part of something special. I myself is excluded from that crowd and is overjoyed to remember that date as The GLPP Career Day. Dressing up in fancy clothes and giving firm hand shakes were just a few perks of being one of the many great hosts of the event. Along with Cesia, I got to talk to the wonderful Radio DJ and personality of Flint's Classic Rock Radio, Elissa Alexander. She came to the school to share with others the journey she went through to be a Radio DJ.
As a teenager, Elissa knew that her passion was in found in music. She wanted to have a job involved in Broadcasts Arts, her true passion. She felt that main inner drive within yourself and passion for what you do will make the difference between a job and a career. While attending a school for Culinary Arts, she realized that she shouldn't be afraid of her dream to be a Radio DJ so with her awesome support team (that included Mrs. McMurray) lifted her courage and helped her reached her dream.
After graduating a rigorous Radio training program at Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts, she worked twice as hard as an intern for Flint's Classic Rock Radio until she was offered (which is a really big deal) the position of being a DJ/Personality. She got the chance to meet many famous people and now has a show on the radio that is hosted only by Elissa's entertaining voice. Elissa's story was really inspirational because she decided to go with what made her happy and not by what society pressured her to be. Just goes to show, how far you can go if you let go of your fears. I feel really honored to have been part of the last GLPP Career Day of Ypsilanti High School and to have met Elissa. I will never forget her.
