Biography on LaCorey Cunningham

My Interviewee was LaCorey Cunningham a sophomore student that attends Chapel Hill University and is majoring in exercise science while participating in workstudy to help provide funds for school. LaCorey Cunningham grew up in a 3 siblings and 2-parent household in which she experienced a lot and learned even more. LaCorey was the middle child and had an older sister and a younger brother. Her older sister Latonia was a great athlete competing in volleyball as well as basketball where she would go on to receiving a full scholarship to western Carolina to continue her volleyball career. LaTonia was mediocre when it came to school and making outstanding grades. With this being said Latonia never made below a c in school. LaCoreys little brother Greg was also an outstanding athlete in whom he competed in track as well as football. He would go on to receive a full football scholarship in football at UNCC. Gregory was also mediocre when it came to performing in the classroom. He was extremely lazy in school and only did enough to get by. LaCorey also played sports; she participated in track, volleyball, and basketball. LaCorey was good in sports but not as interested in it as her siblings and felt like she was always over looked in the household. LaCorey suffered from what she called middle child syndrome. LaCorey then began looking for ways to make her happy and her parents proud as her she felt her siblings did.

LaCorey took a different approach and decided to take her schoolwork as serious as possible and competed in grades harder than any of her siblings had competed in sports. This was good and benefitted her because not only did it help her feel better about herself it was something she was really good at due to the fact that she was already far more intelligent than she even knew. It had gotten to the point where she never made a B in school. She received only one be her middle school career and 3 her high school career. The rest of her schooling consisted of As all the way across the board. LaCorey is someone I not only look up to but admire as a person. She takes school so serious and hasnt made below an A on the college level and she has never made below an A in English itself. For this type of history I feel as if she would be more than successful in todays educational system. I feel that she is just one of those people that just has a knack for learning and just get it, which is a very special characteristic to have.
