9. Discuss you educational background. Where, when, grades, etc.
It?s all just a haze right now?
I went to high school at North Clayton High School in the blue collar part of Atlanta. Even though I was a huge football fan, my high school won three football games in the time I was there! I managed to graduate with a 3.3 GPA and a full intention of going to college at a place where there was a decent football team and UGA was calling out to me!
I went to the University of Georgia back when it was one of Playboy?s top ten party schools and I did my best to help maintain that image. I pledge Sigma Pi Fraternity and lived all four years in the frat house. We were the true animal house, partying every day of the week. In fact, our house got shut down and demolished a year after my graduation!
While at Georgia, I majored in Business Administration with a Marketing degree and had a 3.3 GPA ?I was ready to make a fortune in outside sales. Well, five years into the sales career, I was ready to be an entrepreneur (the first time), and after looking at all the ways I could possibly make my mark on the world, I decided to go to law school.
Unfortunately, I had not made enough money to go to law school full time, so I had to work my way through school. You aint? done nothing until you?ve done a full time job and been a full time night student! That will build character!
I did manage to graduate after three years of year round school (4 full load quarters a year) and again, I had a 3.3 (story of my life). I left law school, quit my job and opened my law practice.
