Exceptional Person: Tyler Oakley

Tyler Oakley is my exceptional person because of the fact that since I've known him, he has become quite the celebrity. He has excelled in so many different fields, networking with thousands of people through youtube, facebook, twitter, etc. I aspire to be like him because of his persistence and his ability to never give up. He puts himself out there and has no limits, and continues to reach out to the public. Tyler is most widely known for his youtube career, and was hired by the university he attends, Michigan State University, to speak to students about how to deal with internships. Since I've known tyler I've always looked up to him because of his ability to reach out to people. In high school he was friends with everyone. I didn't know a single person who hadn't heard of him. Now, I look at his facebook fan page and I see people from hofstra being fans of his....which is INSANE to me. The best way to reach out to the public and become a successful person in this world is to take hold of the resources given to us. Facebook, coroflot, youtube, twitter, districtlines, etcccc! It's a blessing in disguise and Tyler has made sure to take full advantage of technology. It's not just about the technology though, Tyler is a people person. He meets people all the time, across the world. Putting yourself out there will only further your networks and get you where you want to be in life. I will continue to follow his career and I can't wait to see where he takes it!!
