Community Connections

The person is chose was Alex Chamberlain. He is one of my close friends. I ended up doing him because anyone else I did wouldn’t respond or have time to have an interview. Alex plays lacrosse for the Poco saints, Mine and his team play against a lot, and I have a lot of fun when we play against each other

These are my questions and his answers.

Why are you passionate about your job or role?:

I’m passionate about playing lacrosse because I like the pace of the game and how fast it is. also that I like going on away tournaments with my friends.

What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?:

One of the obstacles I have faced is that I fractured my wrist and I was really sad about that. I was out for 5 weeks and after I had to regain my strength to play.

What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?:

Some advice I would pass on is that lacrosse is a contact sport so don’t be surprised if u get hurt. It happens to the best of us, don’t be discouraged when u have to regain your strength.

Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?

Yes: 132-awilkchamberl@sd43.bc.ca

Have Covid-19 Interfered with your passion and how?

Yes because Covid-19 started when the season started and it got in the way of Lacrosse season so they had to cancel the whole season.

Where do u see yourself in the future with your Passion?:

I see myself playing the sport for a long time maybe later down the time play for fun and not at a high level but helping and coach younger kids so they can have the same experience as I did.

    Thank you for submitting your Community Connection assignment for COL. We have reviewed your Edublog post, and have the following observations regarding your work:

    – Good job interviewing someone and seeking out information however, the individual should have been an adult, and not a friend or family member
    – Good inclusion of media
    – To further the connection, try and get commentary on the post, such as sharing it with the individual you interviewed, and see if they will leave feedback

    Thank you,

    Mr. Barazzuol and Mr. Robinson
    COL Teachers
