JaQuilla Daniels

My Name: JaQuilla Daniels

High School:  Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory, Class of 2005

College/Major:  St. Xavier/Criminal Justice, Class of 2009

Favorite Class/Activity:  My favorite class is anything that is related to the arts because I enjoy being creative.  My favorite activity has to be my heart's option, which is basketball.

Most memorable college experience to date:  When my family left me in Louisville, Kentucky, and I called my mother every 3 hours during the day, until I went home.  Also the friends, network of people, adventure, the freedom, and free food that I encountered. 

Favorite way to relax:  Basketball, reading, listening to music, having fun, writing poetry

Favorite book:  The Catcher in the Rye because it encompasses the entity of every teenager in search of who they are.

My dream profession:  To get lost in the field of criminal justice and my dream is to free my father from bondage. 

Future plans:  To stay positive and to be around positive people, along with advancing my dream to live life to the fullest decree, while giving thanks to God and the individuals who I may have embarked along my highway to success. 

Key insight to college freshmen:  Stary focused and determined.  If you are away from home, study hard and try to do you work, trust me, it will pay off.  The parties, the freedom, or those cute boys/girls can wait because your future will not.  You determine the heights that you can elevate to.

My hero:  My mother because she has molded me into the determined, hardworking, respectful woman that I am today.  She has made educationa priority instead of an option and I thank her everyday because it has paid off.
