How do you feel you will benefit from the Alpha Beautillion Program?

I believe that I will benefit from the program through networking, improving my speaking abilities, and growing overall as a young black man. I will learn how to dress for success, speak to a room full of people or just one person. I will also benefit from advice on how to lead. The Beautillion program will challenge me to improve myself and my community.

What is a quote or scripture that resonates with you?

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

What colleges and universities are you considering attending?

North Carolina Central University, North Carolina A&T, East Carolina University, UNC Chapel Hill or UNCC.

What is your greatest strength?

My greatest strength is listening. A one-on-one talk from people older than myself can really help me think, understand and grow in wisdom.
