Alex Sackett
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
February 4, 2023

2. My name is Alex Sackett. I am from Loveland
OH, which is one of the bigger cities in
Cincinnati, but has a small-town feel. My Mom
and Dad were not rich growing up, so they have
always instilled in me that I must work hard to
get up in the world, and to be grateful for
everything you do. I’m a very outspoken person
and I believe that you should keep the main
values of life and having the core values of life. I
also come from a family who is very loud and is
outspoken, plus I could never get a word in
when we were talking so I’ve always been loud in
general. My goal in life is to be a play-by play guy
for MLB, NFL, or really anybody.
