Alex Akers, sophomore broadcasting major from Southaven, sat down with me to discuss some of his greatest achievements, his ups and downs, and how he anticipates on improving himself.

            Graduating high school and making it to college was one of the ultimate achievements for Akers. He also expressed how he failed to make his father proud because of the careless choices that he has made in the past.

            After graduating high school, Akers made a commitment to attend college at Northwest, and with his dedication and driven attitude towards success, he is determined to finish off his sophomore year strong, although laziness can be a weakness he says. He plans on finishing up his education at a four-year university and starting a family afterwards.

            Akers considers his father to be his biggest critic when it comes to being responsible and taking care of business, but he views Cam Newton (Professional Athlete) as his role model and sees him as a successful influence.
