In the Life
of Alex
Hey everyone, my name is Alex Eckel and I am a sophomore cinema
major planning to minor in communications at the University of
Hartford. Movies have always been a passion of mine, they helped
me get through a lot of hard times growing up and allowed me to
put aside my problems for a little while. If I can do that for just one
other person then I will be happy. I have never had any interest in
directing, I hope to do either the actual filming or post production
work. Some people say a lot of behind the scenes jobs are thankless
jobs but it takes a lot of people to make a movie and being apart of
even a single movie would make me happy. I hope to one day find my name
up in the credits.
Though to work in films is a dream of mine it is not my only passion, I
love to read and write as well. I am often told that I read too much
and have often been poked fun at because I always have a book with me
and often a new one every other day. I have written many poems
which I am proud of and I hope to publish a book one day which I have
already started.
Something I truly love to do is skate. Thanks to my mother as soon as I
could walk I could skate. I have done roller blading, quad skating,
speed skating, and for the last two years I have been involved in
Roller Derby. I miss derby and skating a lot while at school but
luckily i can keep in touch with the derby world online. My Derby alter
ego is Little Miss Kamakaze

I am also very family oriented and love my mom, sister, and animals.
Here are a few pictures of my family.
Its hard to say who has an interesting life and who does not, in these
cases the term to each his own fits rather nicely. I enjoy my life and
take on each day with my
with as positive an attitude as I can.
