Clemson 1/10 - "I love the coaches for the Tigers. Tommy Bowden

tricky. It's kind of hard to stop me."

No matter what you do you have to keep the Lord in your life. That really
separates the ones that make it and the ones who don't."
What are your hobbies?
"Going to Church. I'm a real Church going person. I have to keep the
Lord in my life. I also enjoy spend time with my two nephews. They are
going to be bigger than me."

graduate from. I want my degree. That's my first priority. Secondly
