I chose to attend Georgia State University because it is located in the heart of downtown and I love the city life. Also, I chose GSU because of its diverse student body.

Campus Activities and Organizations: Tighter Grip African American Male Initiative 

Most Memorable Georgia State experience: My whole first semester of college... I can almost remember every day of it.

If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be and why? Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Not only do they support and protect the environment but more importantly they work as a team to get the task done. I like how they are head strong and always have positive attitudes in all situations.

Favorite Georgia State tradition: All of the events during Homecoming Week... everything from the Panther Prowl to the big game!

What advice would you give to incoming students? Balance all aspects of your college life... everything from academic to social, and you will get the most out of college. Always remember who you are and don't let anyone change you!

After I graduate from Georgia State, I hope to pursue a career in public service through the U.S. Marshals Service or Secret Service.
