A little bit about me: I am a 19 year old male just finished by first year of college at NCCU. I have tow siblings besides myself that are in middle school. I was raised by my mom and my step dad and my biological dad has never been in my life. I wanted to go to school because I wanted to get a good job or open my own business.
