How did you find out about Manor College?

My cousins told me about Manor College. The majority of them all attended Manor College. 

What is your earliest sports memory?

I have many memories of participating in sports, particularly in track and field. I used to run track with both my closest buddy and my coach. It stands out because we used to have a great time together and they used to encourage me and have faith in me.

When did you start running track and what made you stick with it? 

During my freshman year of high school, I began running track. I just signed up for it without realizing it was my favorite sport or even that I could run until I began winning medals and breaking records. I also discovered my passion while running. 

If you could have dinner with any four people throughout history, who would it be and why? 

(Manor College President) Dr. Jonathan Peri, President Barack Obama, SZA and Rihanna would be the four individuals I would most like to have dinner with. I picked these individuals because, if we sit at a table together, we can have a meaningful conversation that might either change my life completely or benefit me for the rest of it.
