Q. The Obama administration has decided to switch their focus from health care to jobs, if you were president of the United States, what would be your first two initiatives?
A. I think health care is important, but I also think that there are a lot of people out here that don't have jobs right now. Maybe if they did have jobs, they could pay for a little bit more health care for themselves, and we wouldn't have to put so much emphasis on necessarily health care. What my first two initiatives would be are jobs and to try and get some of these drugs off the streets.

Q. What teacher would you recommend to students?
A. Not necessarily any teachers but I know that it's a lot of good staff that we have on campus. Dr. Lawrence, he's a good dude. Also Ms. Lee (in the administration office), she's a nice lady. She will help you out in the time of need; financials and what not. As far as teachers, it's a whole bunch of foreign teachers and I don't really know them like that, so I can't really give you and answer as far as teachers.

Q. Should cigarettes be illegal?
A. HE&% YEAH cigarettes should be illegal. DEFINITELY. They pollute the air and they kill people every single day.

Q. What is your favorite movie?
A. You would think this would be easy since I want to study film, but I've got a lot of favorite movies. But the one at the top, I'm going to have to say Friday.

Q. When will we have the second black president?
A. The second black president will come when one of Barack's daughter's has a son.

Q. What came first: the chicken or the egg?
A. Chicken! Without the chicken there could be no egg. The egg couldn't come first because that would make no sense; how can you have a baby without a parent?

Q. If you were to write an autobiography, what would be the title of Chapter 11?
A. Struggle. That's what life is. Either you got it or you don't, you gonna struggle some way.

Q. What are your thoughts of Black History Month?
A. It's the best thing that ever happened in this world. It should be a Black History year. We should have a whole year for Black history not just one month. But it's like that for right now. I don't think enough young African Americans really take to Black History Month as far as trying to soak up as much information that they can about our history. It will pick up, hopefully.
