Please state the reason(s) you are supporting Project GRAD Akron and raising funds for the scholarship fund. I believe in providing relief to those who are in need and worked hard to graduate high school. Higher education often comes at a higher cost. Scholarships will help reduce financial stress for the family and scholar-to allow more focus on studies.
Name of your favorite teacher and what made the person special to you: Ven Orchaya-Baldwin Wallace University Professor. He helped me develop “gray learning” skills.
What were some of your most enjoyable times in school? I enjoyed all science labs in high school through college. I am a strategic thinker and enjoy working on processes & analysing critical factors/variables. That influences success & outcomes.
Looking back over the years, what advice would you give to your high school self or college self? I would tell myself to invest money early and wisely and build a nest for your future. Everyone has a rainy day.
