I recently decided that I’m going to Virginia Tech for engineering. I was really excited because sophomore year I actually committed for an athletic scholarship for Georgia Tech, but in September it got it taken away due to monetary reasons. The coaches called me one night and said that, after two years of being committed, we don’t have the money for you anymore. It was tough after that just not knowing what I was doing the next four years. It was just like: What do I do now? Then Virginia Tech came along and then the application process and I was very happy that I got in. I’m going to walk on (the baseball team) at Tech.
And you plan to become an engineer?
Yes. This summer I actually have an internship with W.M. Jordan which is a construction engineering company out of Hampton Roads. Hopefully, after each year of college I’ll go back to them and hopefully, after college I will get a job with them and have a career there. I’m excited for that.
