My
Background
“Real
Knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.”
Whew, I wish I’d known that around this time last year. Actually
I did, I just didn’t use it to the best of my ability. My
name is Nathan “Naite” Alexander, and I’m here
to tell you a little about who I am and what I do – hopefully
it will help you in some way, shape, or form. Smile.
I
was born and raised in Charlotte, NC, although I graduated from
a small school in the not-so-small city of Monroe, NC. Choosing
to come to college isn’t that hard of a decision’ it’s
the college you choose that makes it hard. And boy I’m glad
I chose Carolina! I am majoring in Mathematics and planning to minor
in Sociology. I want to become another underpaid high school mathematics
teacher one day. Why? Well, “Naite loves the kids!”
I enjoy interacting with others and what better way to do so than
in a high school.
As
a first-year student, I truly can say that Carolina opens your eyes
to so many different things, different people, and many different
levels of thinking. This is not such a surprise to me since I attended
a very diverse high school; however, there is still much to be learned
here.
While
in high school, I was the member of four varsity sport teams (Swimming
and Diving, Track and Field, Men’s and Women’s tennis).
I was also the president of various clubs and organizations, and
a big contributor to my community--something I hope you all are!
Well, this is my profile. So, here is a little bit more about me.
I love
to perform, in particular dance, and play tennis. I am an optimist
who believes that everyone in this world has some good inside of
them. I enjoy long walks on the beach, conversational dinners, and
reflection time – No really, I do! I talk and talk and talk
and talk and then I talk some more. I am a DEAT – Dominant
Extrovert Abstract Thinker/Talker, and I love it. However, I always
remember that I can’t be in control of each and every situation
or always express how I feel in a blunt manner – tact is a
must. You have to always think before you speak. And boy, do I love
philosophical quotes. They drive my life sometimes.
I hope
you take much from our pages and really consider applying to Carolina…it’s
a great place to study, eat, sleep, and PARTY! But please remember
“Real Knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance”;
so, come back and see our profiles…Adios! ?
