About
My name is Christopher Brandon (in the middle, my heart/little brother and sister on the sides:)). I am from Amarillo Texas. I never imagined I would go to school, much less to do well. My main goal in school, is to help people to see their potential no matter where they are starting from. Also, that it is never too late to change your circumstances!

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Right now, I am learning all about the profession. I have had the opportunity to hear from social workers. I noticed one piece of advice, that all of them suggested. When it comes to internships list what interests you, but also things that are completely out of your comfort zone. I intend on using that advice to find the exact path.
- Graduate school interests
I plan on getting my BSW, followed by my MSW!
- Outside the classroom
Exercise! I went from two liver diseases and dying. to running 5-10 miles a day and benching 300. So its safe to say exercise has brought me a long way. Exercise, ambition, and a lot of hard work!
