Free Topic

The last topic with ECU was free speech, I was with Marie-Joaona Palma de Jesus- Tassel during that chat time, we talked again with Matthew Heppner, he is 23 years old.

We talked about social networks, he has a Facebook account since 8 years, I learned that in America, people delete their Facebook profile before applying for a job because companies can try to look how the candidate in his social life and it can be a point for refusing someone (which is totally different than in France where someone who doesn’t have a Facebook account could means that he doesn’t have a social life or he wants to hide things). In America, people are just crazy about their smartphones (as in France). His future is not decided yet, maybe he will graduate in another College or he will go and find a job, his project is to buy a house in 5 years’ time. In North Carolina, housing prices are the same than in Tours, he also told us that a house in New York City was around $5.000.000… He loves to go on eBay, once he bought a lamp $10 and sold it $400!!! If you were asking yourself, yes he wants to become a businessman. He already went abroad, he went to Mexico.

He wasn’t very talkative, we really had to push him to make him talk more, but he was a nice guy even though he had some hard words for one of the American student that was with us (Cullen)
