Q&A With Peter Slaughter

What is the best advice you can give to young black students today in this country when it comes to success and education ?
"Do not drink or smoke weed or use any drugs. Do not hang around people that do.It seems that many have financial and grade issues. Stay a so-called nerd or geek while in college.Get your GPA high as possible and help the next person get to the top in this life,instead of being greedy,selfish and materialistic.Also,keep a good book to read at all times instead of having something attached to your eyes or watching a phone all day for updates bit of internet chatter."
