Looking Back over my Freshman Year!

        Looking back over this past school year, I am amazed. I am amazed that I am almost officially a junior in college ,and I have grown as a individual. These two things have many things that fall behind it. First off, I am proud to say that I made the choice to go to college. This choice is definitely one of the best so far. My experience in college has been so great as far as getting involved as a collegiate athlete, performing well as a student in the classroom, and being involved on campus with different activities such as Tiger Lead, Black Student Association, and a couple of activists groups that stand for something great. I also enjoyed the basketball games, parties, and competitions I was able to do like the spelling bee and speed eating contests. Secondly, I have grown as a person. I have grown to become a better leader by workshops that I took part in like Tiger Leadership Institute and Lunch with a Leader. I have grown to be a better person because of my wonderful English teacher telling us the importance in having a voice and standing for something. This has been one of the most influential things for me. I was able to step-out into my community and understand others and their day to day fight for justice and equality. Furthermore, I have to say that I have truly enjoyed my experience here as a Freshman at the University of Memphis. I couldn't expect much better and no less than this years experience. I am happy to be a Tiger. Go Tigers! :)
