What was your major? and Why did you choose it?
My major was Pop Music. I chose this major because I love creating music!
How did you overcome your nervousness that first year?
I overcame by being more involved in the music department so I joined the Pop Ensemble & Ambassador Chorale!
What were the chants heard most often at sporting events?
Never really went to sporting events.
What were the best restaurants on and near campus? Favorite dishes?
The college cafe.
Anybody else hungry?
Hot wings and fries was most of our favorites!
Who was your college crush? Where were the spots to go to if you wanted to cuddle?
Didn’t really have a crush.
Folks would always be cuddled up either in the circle in the middle of the campus or in the dorm room front area.
How were you positively active on your college campus? What about in high school?
I was always a motivator to many. In high school I was the same and always making people laugh.
If you could only speak two sentences to the youth coming after you what would you say?
Stay focused and don’t get side tracked of what many call “fun”. Never give up when it gets tuff always keep it moving because you’re an overcomer!
