Hello world My name is Antonio Quintarus Tillison and as a graduating senior at East High School I want to take this opportunity to explain some of the things that I witnessed and that I have grown to proceed after. I have been an adolescence in my younger years and after all the bad choices in my life I have chosen to become a better person. I went through years not knowing the greater significance of life and that is to be what you can be and want to be. I moved to Memphis at the age of thirteen and was much undisciplined I got into trouble, fights, and etc.....But I made the choice of at least keeping my grades good enough to pass. I have had great teachers who brought me to my senses and guided me on the right path, my father began to do his job when he was released from incarceration, and started being what he professed to be.

As I continued through my high school career I began to become more civilized and wanted to be something in life so I joined the football team, come to find out I am a natural talent in the sport. I started taking honor and AP classes and during the summer I was presented a job at the radio station where I met my outstanding supervisor Felicia Moore who showed me how to speak more articulate and show people what a respectful young gentlemen I could be. I had a great experience with her and the rest of the radio crew.

So as I enter my journey on the Capstone project I plan to further my discipline to follow instructions, practice my articulate speaking to the panel members, and share my extraordinaire story with others to influence them to not settle for what they can do settle for what they cannot. So I am very appreciative of the time all the members will take to grade me not only as a graduating senior but as a prepared human being for what society has for me next.
