What’s up! Today I wanted to recap all the previous interviews I have had on the show. I want to give people an opportunity to get some nuggets on information to help prepare them for the demand of college just in case they did not have the time to listen to each one or you were not as compelled to listen to a particular interview. I am going to give you a few important facts on what I learned from each one.
