My name is Carlyle Garrick. I am a twenty year old African American just trying to reach my dreams. I have a strong passion for shoes, and I must admit that I am borderline addicted! People ask me what I want to do in life and I say “I just want to be legendary.” People ask me why I am an advertising major and I say, “I just want to make people laugh.” People ask me what’s my plan in life, and I say, “I just want to wake up everyday and work towards making it possible for my mother to retire early.” I was a business major at first and I realized that the suit and tie life is definitely not for me. I like to have fun, make people laugh, smile and even cry. I feel like the J-school can help me reach my goals in life and open up doors to an entertaining future. Now let me go be great!
