-: I didn't have SAT scores high enough
to get into NGIT,
and they, for whatever reason,
they went out on a limb, they accepted me into
their APT, Apt To Succeed Program,
for folks like myself who,
you know, we did well in high school in terms of our grades
but we didn't do so well on the SATs.
I went from getting in by the skin of my teeth, right,
to eventually, you know, getting well
emersed into the organizational culture,
you know, I served as a resident assistant,
I was president of my community service fraternity,
Alpha Phi Omega,
and then I actually was elected student body president
and got to serve as the commencement speaker.
And when I graduated in 2011,
which was just such a wonderful opportunity for me.
And that's why I love coming back to the campus,
I love participating in different events.
