Working at Speedway in New Ipswich, Eric Howell has a lot of time to think about his passion – cars. He’s not sure what he wants to do with them, but Howell knows his future is in the automotive industry.
“I’m not really sure what I want to do, but I love working with cars,” said Howell. “I have a really good eye for design.”
Howell is pursuing his Liberal Arts degree so that he can transfer to a four year school, most likely Fitchburg State University. He comes from a long line of college graduates and feels the desire to follow in his older sister’s footsteps and go to the Mount.
One of his favorite parts of the Mount is the student body.
“Everyone is really friendly and I feel like I know my teachers and they know me,” said Howell. “It’s really nice that the campus is so small and it’s not so easy to get lost, like a lot of other college campuses. Some places it’s like crossing town to get to your next class. Not here though.”
Some of his favorite classes are Functions & Modeling and Music Theory, mostly because he likes the teachers so much.
Howell especially enjoys the short commute to school in the morning, less than 25 minutes from home to campus with regular traffic. While climbing New Ipswich Mountain near his home, he was surprised to see the famous windmills outside the school.
“It really put into perspective how close I am to the school,” said Howell. “I can almost see it from my house!”
