Mr. McGee is a local artist that was born and raised in Florence. His whole talk was about finding what we want to do with our lives and making sure it is what we truly want to do with our lives. He used himself as an example towards this. He has always been an outdoorsy guy and been in love with nature his whole life. But over time he was slowly moved in directions that he thought he wanted and that turned out badly for him. he Grew up working in his dad's contracting company and then took over the family business. He was pretty successful at it but just wasn't that into it. He then decided to just take a break and make metal sculptures. That decision caused his wife to leave him but he stuck with it. Over the years he has been happier than ever since he has returned to his roots.
I really liked what he had to say especially since many people our age are struggling with what to do with their lives. He gave a lot of insight into many paths that would probably be considered by students in our position. I'm glad he came to talk to us.
