Hey! Sha La La La La. Don't be scared. You got the mood prepared.
Go on and kiss the girl. Kiss the girl. Sha la la la la.
Don't stop now. Don't try to hide it.
How you want to kiss the girl. Where are you from? Louisville, Kentucky. Webster,
so really close.
Montana. I'm from Colebrook, New Hampshire. From Houston, Texas. Silver Spring
Maryland. Jacksonville, Florida. Westchester, New York. Cambridge.
I'm from here.
What are you most looking forward to about college? Looking forward to meeting
some cool people absolutely and I mean I just love the campus so I'm just excited
to kind of explore around so. Just taking classes I want to take and
playing lacrosse. I'm on a team so that'll be a lot of fun.
Maybe the snow. The snow. Looking forward to the snow. Learning about
independence and all that, you know. That's a corny answer but you know. That's a tough question.
There's a lot of things I'm looking forward to. I saw the school schedule and
everything. There's like I want to participate in all of them. It's like I don't have enough time.
Probably all the people I'm going to meet here and like the different clubs
that they have, and that's to me, the best part. It be a new chapter of my life and uh
getting as much experience as I can. Some of- I wanted to maybe do like some of the
a cappella groups, I think those would be fun and badminton, I want to do badminton so bad.
Yeah, I'm gonna be playing on the varsity golf team. Senior Leadership groups, um, I
play basketball so I'm looking forward to that too. I'm going to look at some of
the, like, the Protestant Club or the Fellowship Christian Club. And after that
probably like the a cappella group looks pretty cool so I might give that a try.
The tennis club. Maybe rock climbing club. Um, I'd probably, well I'm not sure yet what I
will be joining. I'm going to look around. Maybe quiz bowl and I feel like there's one more. I get into
some like intermural like football and baseball. I'll just go to like all of them and
see what happens.
What's the most interesting thing that you brought from home?
Probably my brother over here, so. Bear, right from Bear from the Big Blue House.
This is part of my childhood so yeah of course I brought it. I got a headband
because I had a lot of hair but I cut it all yesterday. I have a Batman Cape.
All right. I don't know why. Probably my mic because I rap so I do my own little thing. I have a poster
from my best friend that I went to high school with. It's a Harry Potter poster
so that's probably it. I don't
know. I have all my, my souvenirs from high school baseball with me so
that's, that's kind of my little home away from home.
I do have an entire bag devoted just to hangers. You never know.
Slipping and a sliding
all along the waterfall with you, the brown eyed girl.
Why did you choose the University of Rochester?
My sister goes there now so I got introduced to Rochester from her but I did some research and I thought that I
would get the most out of coming here. Um, the first time I visited here it was in the
middle of winter and I just loved it and I was like I have to go. I know that
the Engineering Department here is exceptional compared to the, the other
schools that I have applied so that's one of the reasons that made me choose
Rochester. It just has a really good Pre-Med program and the research
opportunities here, I'm really interested in those.
Best combination of basketball and academics. I felt like it was the best
fit for me is, it has, has great academics. It's a college that is serious
about their studies and it just appealed to me. I really fell in love with the campus
and just felt absolutely comfortable when I showed up here and it just kind of,
kind of clicked for me so. Great school with a bunch of great people and a
fantastic City. And do you have any parting advice?
