I have grown up in the Crisp County School System.  There was never a Friday that my dad didn't throw a party for my class when I was in elementary school, but the parties came to an end after I got to middle school.    In 2005, I graduated from Crisp County High School where I was a Honor Graduate. and recieved a Dual College Preparatory Seal and a Technical College Seal.  After graduation, I went to Valdosta State University to further my education and that is where I am at now pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education.  I plan to graduate December 2008.
                          

    I  was brought up in a very religious family.  I grew up in the small town of Crisp County, Cordele , Georgia where my dad and grandparents were
well known.   Usually, when one thinks of Cordele, Georgia they relate the place to the famous Lake Blackshear or "The Watermelon Capital of the
 World".  I have enjoyed participating in the Watermelon Parade and the Christmas Parade  that Cordele hosts annually.  During my senior year of
high school, I participated in the Crisp County Centennial Pageant in which I recieved Best Dress, Best Hair, and Best Smile.  I thought these trophies
were well appreciated since that was my first pageant.  Beginning in the sixth grade, I was in band  in which I was a member of until I graduated. 
While I was in band, the band recieved many awards.  My senior year I was section leader and band captain.
