Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
I am from Philadelphia,Pa but i have lived in the Atlanta area for 4 years.
My senior year in high school i met a guy from a friend of mine from high school and his name is Mr. Marlo and he took us to the southern HBCUs In Georgia and i had no clue what i wanted to do with my life until i met him and now he is my mentor for the rest of my life.
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
Because i know there is a lot of racism going on in this world and i don’t want to get distracted by that and so i would like to be with my fellow black people that want to be successful. Also that everyone knows that HBCUs are the best schools to get your name out there.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
My story is i chose to attend Albany State University and it’s status is amazing because of the culture spread that goes around and i was in total shock of the way people dress to be successful.
It’s a everyday thing because you never know who’s watching and who wants to connect with you.
"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
My first time experience was amazing because I’ve met so many good people and especially the ones that will help me along my four years of college plus doing a sport for Albany State is excellent because everyone looks up to me because i am a student-athlete.
I do track and field and my experience with them was good and hard work because they've been running in college for years and I’m just starting to run for college and it’s a different type of competition but i like it though because it will make me get better.
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
There is only one professor that has impacted my life In and out was Mr.Mathis my government Professor because he has taught about the world and how to handle it in the right way so i could live the best life.
Also he knows his stuff about politics and even help go through them as well. Mr. Mathis is a amazing guy and is part of a fraternity Omega Psi Phi.
What sports do/did you play at your HBCU? What positions?
I do Track and field. I am a 400m runner and 4x4 relay.
What is your major? and Why did you choose it?
My major is Computer Science and why chose it because everything in the world is technology and built with computers.
The money is high in computer jobs or any job that needs a computer scientist to do computer engineering for them. I know that i can get a job right away with my major because the world needs people who are good at computer software engineering or computer science, personally i think they are both the same.
