What made you decide to choose the program you are in?  Since I can remember I have always loved science, it’s a field that is always changing and evolving at a fast pace. Why not be the pioneer for something new.

Are you involved on campus? I am Secretary of The Black Student Union, Secretary of The Forum (an artist and poetry organization), I am also a member of the Independent Scholars Network.

What is the best thing you have gained from college thus far?  The best thing I have gained from college so far is experience. Life may give you lemons and you have the choice of what you want to do with it, make lemonade? Or be different and make lemon meringue pie.

If you could give advice to anyone who is thinking about college what would it be? If I could give advice to anyone who is thinking about college I would say go for it. In this type of economy it’s hard to get far without a degree and also college is a time were you explore a new life and find who you truly are. It’s a whole new world out there and college should only be step one. Strive for even more, you'd be surprised at how far you can go.
