What is something you would like people to know about you as a student?
I have always loved to read and learn. Just because I’m in prison doesn’t mean that passion has changed.
What does being a part of NPEP mean to you?
This program is amazing. It has given all of us a way to gain knowledge and better ourselves.
What course has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I really enjoyed philosophy. I went in totally skeptical, but this class introduced me to a new way of thinking.
What is your favorite book or article that you have read in your NPEP classes?
Last year’s club book was “Hidden Figures.” It was a great book, and I enjoyed discussing it with other students.
What assignment (paper, project, homework) have you found the most rewarding?
In chemistry we had to write a research paper on an element, and then give a presentation about what we learned. It was fun to not only learn something, but to teach the others what I learned.
