my role model

May 15th, 2008  Tagged , , ,

I never got around saying who my role model is. Just a couple of weeks ago, I did not have a role model. No one that I admired, respected, or wanted to be. Then, in a spur of a moment, I had one. He’s name is Alexander Main. I believe that he is a teenager around the ages of sixteen to eighteen but I am not altogether sure. All I know is that he was born in Argentina but is currently living in Germany studying at the Multimedia Production. I was bored out of my mind watching videos on YouTube when I found a video called ‘Do We Need Art?’ The video doesn’t say much, but what it shows is…very inspiring. I watched other videos made by Alexander and I was truly surprised because he really seemed to be keen on saving earth. It surprised me because I didn’t know much people who seemed to care that much. And while I was getting my feelings out there by words using Edublogs, Alex was getting the words out by videos. Not only was he fantastic in making videos, he also used his talent for the good. When asked why he makes videos, he replied, “Because I’m very interested about the fact, that videos are one of the most powerful ways to promote ideas and gain awareness.” And it’s true. After all, as the saying goes, if pictures are worth a thousand words, then videos must be worth gazillions. The videos Alex created made me think. It gets me to wonder about not just me, but everyone and everything on Earth that still continues to exist in the world today. But I mainly think about earth. If earth could talk, what would he say to us? Would he blame us for hurting him or would he blame himself? And what could I say, if I did have the chance to talk to him? A thousand of sorrys would mean nothing compared to what we’re doing to earth. So just take a moment to think about earth and visit www.alexandermain.com.
