>WHAT ARE YOU DEDICATED TO?
Educating others

>HOW DOES THIS MANIFEST IN YOUR
>LIFE?
Life work.

>WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THIS?
I had a great Sociology professor in undergrad and he must have seen my potential and pushed me to teach as a teaching assistant for two of his courses

>WHAT HELPS YOU?
There isnothing more rewarding to hear from students that geat the point of what your teaching. Or you have students come back or you run into after a few semesters and talk your ear off about the what positive things they are doing. Or that they understand why I was so hard on them and appreciate what I'm trying to do.

>WHAT GETS IN THE WAY?
1,Usually my age. I'm very young compared to my colleages and from walking in the door I have to earn respect as a young man.
2.Being Jamaican. Most of the colleagers are not people of color and sometimes that still draws doubt of my knowledge from others.

>WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED SO FAR?
Man there are so many. It's hard to just pick a few. I learn more lessons on a daily basis and I use each one to improve my profession.

>WHAT IS THE GREATEST JOY?
Being able to impact someone's life in a positve way or at least having the opportunity to do that.
Also provoking someone to think about new topics and new ways of anaylzing issues.

>WHAT IS THE GREATEST SORROW?
Not getting my point to someone or loosing someone in the process and they don't ask me for help.

>WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?
People telling me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. My issue with being a perfectionist and always trying to improve myself. Trying out new ideas to stay refresh.

>WHAT'S NEXT?
Finish this PhD and continue to tickle people's mind.
