Meet Alex, a no-nonsense third-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a family of engineers, Alex prides themselves on practicality and straightforward communication. Frustrated with students who question the fundamentals rather than seeking solutions, Alex believes that education is not just about asking questions but using them as a launchpad for innovation. When not buried in textbooks or working on co-op projects, Alex volunteers to mentor first-year students, encouraging them to tackle challenges head-on.
