My name is Nolon Duane White. My name just so happens to be a palindrome, so attempting to spell it backwards will grant you the same result. My interests include reading, playing Xbox, drumming, eating, and hanging out with friends. The clubs I was involved with in high school were pep club, Band, and thespian club. I was in the marching band because I enjoy performing music for others to enjoy. My strengths include writing and speaking well, and I could probably use the most improvement on meeting deadlines.
I chose the U of M because of the many opportunities it has to offer such as a great music and business program. My fears include being overwhelmed by work and not being able to study efficiently, but I am actively supported by my friends and family constantly because they know I can and will do well. My hopes for this semester are to get a job and do great in my ACAD class.
As far as careers go, I see myself pursuing a degree in business and economics and a minor in music in order to become a financial planner or a music teacher. If I could visit somewhere out of the country it would be Germany because I was born there and I would like to go back and have a better understanding of what my surroundings were really like back then. In the next four years I hope to obtain a college degree and go back to school as a graduate student. I truly believe Memphis is great despite all of the negative things that happen here simply because the good, positive things in Memphis are just as amazingly memorable as anything else. People should just focus on at least some of the good instead of all of the bad.
That is all.

Nolon,
ReplyDeleteHow happy my heart was to read your post! I have been in Germany the last two summers and quite enjoyed myself. Where were you born? Do you speak any German? I need to learn.
Your focus and determination will help you to meet your goals and blend all of your amazing passions into the life that you want.
If I can ever be of assistance, do let me know.
