Jul 2005
I was born on October 8th, 1984 at Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville Alabama. I went to private school from kindergarten up until the end of 9th grade. All my fam/friends were in public school, and I missed out on a LOT of stuff. I was always a well-mannered kid while in grade school.
I graduated from J.O. Johnson High School in 2002, and enrolled at Alabama A&M University shortly afterward. I originally majored in Psychology....but I quickly changed it to Telecommunications.
My first two years of college were filled with too much fun. I had so much fun that it got me into too many close calls. I almost became a father, binge drank on weekends, and had a VERY close brush with death during the spring of 2004.
While working at my 2nd Taco Bell, I met a local news anchor who put me onto a job at her TV station in September of 2003, and I've been there working the 4am-Noon shift since then. I've learned so much stuff about TV production, photography, broadcasting, journalism, creative writing, and special event coordinating while there.
Working there has been a gift and a curse. It was a special opportunity that I couldn't pass up, but my grades suffered from being awake 20 or more hours a day. I was placed on Academic Suspension by AAMU for the Fall 2004 semester, and would be cleared for re-admission to the university for the Spring 05 semester. I didn't.
The plan is to re-enroll this fall, and if all goes well, my work schedule will change by then. A new, and better job with the government, is also possible. Stay Tuned.
Fellow HBCUconnect fam...tell your story. How did you get where you are? Where do you want to be headed? It doesn't have to be as long as mine....but tell your story.
