Q&A With Veronica E. Benson

About   (request update)
I was born by the river... oh wait, that was Sam Cooke! Honestly, I was born and raised in Columbia, SC six minutes before my sister. Yes, folks, you are talking to a real live twin! I graduated from high school in '94 and worked as a hair stylist for almost 8 years before deciding to go to school at Alabama State University. I'm currently single, with no kids; indeed a rarity! I am hoping to possibly move to Charlotte, NC soon! Since this asked for my biography and not my life's story, I'm going to end it here! If you found this tidbit of info interesting and want to know more, feel free to ask ANYTHING you want! CAUTION: Although you can ask anything of me, it doesn't mean EVERYTHING will be answered!!! LOL!!!
My Interview Question
Are you living your dream?
Current Whereabouts:
Columbia, SC
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I aspire to become a Massage Therapist; bringing healing to those in need and allowing God to work through me to achieve this goal!
Education   (request update)
Alabama State University class of 2005
Undergrad Major: Business Administration
Claim To Fame:
I don't think I have a "claim to fame." It was what it was while I was there and it is what it is now after college!
Most Memorable Moment:
Making the Dean's List, meeting the people I came into contact with over the 4.5 years at ASU. All in all, it wasn't a bad experience! Like T.I. said, "Anything don't kill me, make me stronger..."
High School: Richland Northeast High School in Columbia, SC class of 1994
 
Activities & Accomplishments:
Cosmetology... not that this is the only one! It's the only one that I feel is worth mentioning! It holds a very special place in my heart!
Best Memories:
The entire Senior Cosmetology class passing state board and celebrating our success at our instructor's house with bacon-wrapped filet mignons!!! Thank you Ms. Pat!
