Professors that have made an impact on my life:
All of my professors at Wesley have had a positive impact on my life. From Dr. Muscko to Coach Short, Professor Barry, Dr. Phillips, Professor Abbott, Professor Hawkins-Riggs and the many others. They all have strived to get the best out of me and have taught me much more than a textbook ever would. I thank all of them for who I am and who I will become after Wesley.
