I chose to attend TSU because: Because it is a 4-year Historically Black College and University (HBCU). And it is AWESOME. And I wasn’t going to pass up a free Bachelor’s Degree.

My favorite things to do on campus are: Hang out in the office and goofing off in class.

When I have free time, I like: To help out with the children’s ministry at my church. Hanging out with friends and playing Call of Duty.

The craziest thing I’ve done is: While on a Mission Trip in Ecuador, I jumped of a 50 foot into a swift water river and almost didn’t make it out.

My favorite place to study is: At home while listening to music.

My favorite professor is: All are treated equally.

If I could share an afternoon with anyone, I would love to share it with: Jesus Christ

If I knew I could not fail, I would: Start my own veterinarian clinic (stationed in the state) and also out of the same business do mission trips all over the world.

The one TSU experience I will always remember will be: All of the awesome moments in the office, especially “the creep”!!! P.S. Don’t forget to smile!
