Eleomar Alvarez-Rivas
Running for Senator of Business & Computing
My name is Eleomar Alvarez Rivas and I am running for Senator of Business and Computing, I enjoy weightlifting and playing games. My favorite color is green and I enjoy music to my very core but with a somber listening I also am very argumentative as each position has something to offer no matter how small the debate. Now that you know more about me I am here to offer up my chance to be in this position within ASMJC as I will dedicate my time to helping you receive a better understanding of business and computing whether it be the idea of how to start one or pursue an official career, economic trends, or how to understand a lesson a teacher is presenting. Along with that I am here as a representative of you and your needs as any type of problem or complaint, even ones that have very little or nothing to do with business are still at the frontline of my attention. With your vote we can work together for a better MJC in Business and computing allowing for each student within the major to pass without struggle and enjoy what this campus has to offer.
