Dalton Starkey, sophomore broadcasting major from Southaven was willing to share his life story me.

            Starkey mentioned that he was licensed to the ministry of the gospel at his church, and says that his true calling in life is to become a pastor.

            Everything was not smooth sailing for Starkey. Before reaching his sophomore at Northwest, he came across some academic hardship with his algebra class.

            Starkey describes himself not only as a leader, but as a very honest and loyal person, who will continue to grow by continuing to learn. He has a tough time dealing with stress and he has a habit of waiting until the last minute to do things. Starkey also struggles with procrastination.

            Starkey views Chris Tomlin as his inspiration, because he puts Christ first in everything he does and his passion and energy are contagious.

            Starkey feels as if he has learned the most from this father, because he taught him how to be a man and leader. He says that his mother has always been his biggest critic. She pushes him to the limit and makes sure that he is at his best.
