>> I went to Piscataway High School in Piscataway, New Jersey.
It's a great high school, and I owe a lot to that high school, as well.
But my sister attended the University of Pennsylvania
and she was a very successful track and field athlete.
I was, as well.
And I remember coming down for Penn Relays.
And, you know, I hung out a couple
of days before I actually came to the event and competed.
And I saw some people wearing Temple shirts.
And I'm like, Temple University!!
Oh, I remember them!
Because I also was a fan of basketball.
I played basketball for many years.
And so I used to follow the basketball team and they had such a, you know, a character.
You know, John Chaney was the coach and the players were amazing.
And it just occurred to me to say, you know what,
I want to find out more about this university.
And, of course, there's such amazing people that actually graduated from the university, as well,
that have been very open about their experience with Temple, which has been very, very good.
So, with that, I just I ended up applying.
I was accepted and, what did it for me, I came to the orientation.
And I just walked.
