Alexander Thomas Jr
My name is Alex, and I’ve been part of the Drew community since kindergarten. I am a motivated and ambitious senior who takes pride in being a dedicated student, hardworking individual, and passionate music artist. Despite challenges, I’ve maintained a 4.0 GPA while working two jobs, building resilience, discipline, and independence.
As a first-generation college student, I am determined to use my academic success to fund my education and create new opportunities for myself and my family. In the future, I plan to pursue a career in music or business, aiming to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
During my four years of high school, I aim to maximize every opportunity by maintaining my 4.0 , completing meaningful community service, building strong relationships with staff, and continuing to excel as a top student. I also plan to begin developing my music career and preparing for college, with my top choice being Florida A&M University (FAMU).
I want to leave a lasting legacy in multiple ways. First, through my artistry, music is my passion, and I aspire to become one of the best artists of my generation. Beyond success and recognition, I want to use my platform to speak on issues that matter and create positive change.
Second, I want to build a legacy within my family. As a first-generation college student, I am determined to open doors not only for myself but for future generations. I plan to work hard to create generational wealth so my family can experience greater opportunities and a higher quality of life. Everything I do now is to build a stronger future for those who come after me.
