About (request update)

Current Whereabouts:

As I pursue to fulfill and experience my destined goals of being that one of a kind architect and businessman, my current whereabouts is in Uptown New York which is also known as Harlem. Because I have achieved at Tuskegee University through discovering architectural design features for architecture in the near future, I have been recruited to work as an architectural intern for an architecture and engineering firm by the name of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, LLP. Also, I have been recruited to work as a marketing sales representative for a company by the name of Vector Marketing Corporation. This marketing company will assist me in my destined goals of being a successful businessman because I will be gaining valuable experience that will help me manage my time and improve my interpersonal communication skills which is a quality trait that is needed in the field of architecture.

Education (request update)

Tuskegee University class of 2009

Undergrad Major: Architecture

Claim To Fame:

With the college experience I have and will continue to encounter, my personal foundation consists of love, maturity, dedication, knowledge, wisdom, and the word of GOD. As I claim to fame, I claim to achieve my short and long term goals of being that one of a kind college student who always stands out from other students. I want to leave college knowing that I have been through many storms as I remain in the life-cycle knowing that there will be many ups and downs in the near future. I claim to fame that I have become stronger because I keep my eyes on the prize to receive my Bachelors of Architecture from Tuskegee University and knowing that I received an experience that is more than just a college education. After graduation, I plan to be in the work force and making differences and contributions in society. As I continue to progress to my third year of college, I do know that my primary commitment is the value and time spent of the education I am receiving and experiencing. Also being educated will only get me closer to my destined goals. Overall, my ultimate claim to fame is to make sure I accomplish my goals and give back more of which was given to me.

Most Memorable Moment:

Though the average person’s most memorable moment may last seconds, minutes, hours, or days, my most memorable lasted for the entire spring semester of 2006. This memorable moment occurred when an instructor from another university came as a Scholar Professor for his expertise and training in architectural designing. The name of this instructor is Doug Burleson who is an instructor at Auburn University which is a very prestigious university in the training and producing of architects. Doug Burleson will remain remembered and recognized in my life because he did not only help me discover my design potential. He also coached me to win a wood design competition against the university he teaches at. Mr. Burleson also insisted me in my career goal of receiving an architectural internship with an architecture firm by the name of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, LLP in New York City which will have a profound effect on my life.
