grant . 24 years old / denver . colorado
as someone was once again covering for me at the café, i hurried through the streets in search of the day's stranger. i don't like to hurry. i especially don't like to hurry while searching for strangers.
as soon as i stepped outside, i saw a guy on a skateboard. he looked pretty tough and his dog looked even tougher. i wouldn't ordinarily choose to go up to the duo, but this project gives me an excuse to talk to everybody and anybody. i like that. it gives me a chance to show some courage. skateboarder and tough dog declined my offer on account of their being late for work. that was ok.
i was moving at a good pace up 16th street when i noticed a young man walking in the opposite direction on the other side of the street. he wore a sign that read "mechanical engineer for hire". i was obviously intrigued. i ran across the street and caught up to the guy. i told him what i was doing and asked if he would be up for being today's stranger. he was.
originally from illinois, grant went to school in michigan. finding that he wasn't too interested in cars, grant started looking for work elsewhere. he kept hearing the same thing, "we are looking for local people". so, grant decided to pack up his belongings and move. he ended up in denver and is currently pursuing his passions... and looking for a job. he said he is interested in solar energy and has always had a penchant for legos. i think solar energy is pretty cool and i used to play with legos, too, but i don't have the creativity to make a career out of combining the two. i would imagine that grant actually used his legos to be creative, whereas i merely followed the instructions because i invariably found myself in a mess if i wandered from the path. i never have considered myself to be a very creative person.
grant has been applying for jobs in every way he knows how. this is another attempt at showing his drive and work ethic. i wish i was in the market for a mechanical engineer...
thanks so much for your time, grant. good luck with the search.
