BIO
I was born on April 24th in New Orleans. I grew up an a small house surrounded by an elderly neighbor hood so i had very little friends from age one through eleven. Being me, I still found a way to have fun. My elementary school was majority caucasian and during my 7th grade year i was the only African-American kid in grades 5th through 8th. I was somewhat of a trouble maker just because I felt like an outcast. I would socialize with the other kids around school but outside of school they would socialize and I just wandered away. I was suspended about seven times over my 7th and 8th grade year, but again I had fun. I graduated from Trinity right on time and moved on to bigger and better things. i went to Jesuit High School and started having real fun. I joined ROTC to gain a little bit of leadership skills for future endeavours. Then i decided to join the debate team because I was interested in argumentation and philosophy. I learned alot about Locke, Hobbes, Derrida, Nietzsche, and Augustine. I traveled the country arguing idea and notions of social justice and liberty. From debates on welfare to nuclear proliferation, they all seem to interest me. I closed out my first year of debate strong with some key first, second, and third place wins in both local and national tournaments. During my senior year however, my debate skills seem to diminish because I stepped up to league in which competition was a little to experienced for me. I finished the season alright but not as well as I wish i could have. I got a job at StienMart after the season was over to have alottments of money to feed into my sneaker collection fad. I had planned on attending Morehouse College but the stars didn't align as far as finances are involved. I moved on and decided on my second choice. Attending Loyola was a smart idea. I was allowed to stay in the city I love. I was allowed to still enjoy that New Orleans food thats so hard to let go of. I kept to old friends and gain new ones. I decided to major in accounting because an art major did not look as productive. Now, I'm looking forward to my five year plan since soon I'll be double majoring in finance. What more can I say?
