What do I want my future to look like? Easy, I would like to have a sustainable income for my future family and live in a nice neighborhood so my kids have friends to play with.

I would say my greatest accomplishment was definitely going to the senior league world series and leading my baseball team to a national championship down in South Carolina where the game was broadcasted on live television for everyone to see. It was an amazing experience I was able to share with my friends who I have played baseball with for so long.

The most important people in my life are definitely my parents. They are the most influential and inspiring people in my life. I admire my dad for saving your mom, my aunt’s, life when she was diagnosed with cancer by donating his bone marrow to her. I admire my mom for always supporting me in all of my sports endeavors and always believing in me and my abilities.

The AAP program has taught me a lot, this program has taught me to stay on top of all my assignments and how to better manage my time. The Associates in Arts Program has also saved me a lot of money, which has helped me to be able to get a house with some of my friends in Newark, preparing me for next semester being on the main campus and getting to know the town.
