College Tour 2011
Tony Robinson
Published: April 27, 2011
Tony Robinson put on the campus of Ohio State University.
My name is Tony Robinson and I attend Robeson High School. I am a freshman representing the class of 2014. Me and two other guys, Tywon McCall and Gaylon Spriuel, went on the 2011 Spring Break College Tour with the Chicago YMCA Black and Latino Achievers program (BLA).
Our trip was very proudly sponsored by The United Way African American Male Initiative (AAMI) and the Randstad Corporation.
The reason I went on the college tour was to decide what kind of college I would like to attend. We went to nine different colleges including Michigan State, Concordia University, and Ohio State. The college I enjoyed the most was Ohio State. The reason I liked Ohio State is because the school reminds me of a city of its own.
Tywon said the reason he went on the college tour was to see all of the different colleges between Ohio and Michigan and to see which school he was interested in.
"Some of the things I liked about the college tour was that I got the experience I needed to know what college life is all about," said Tywon. "I loved learning about the history of all the different colleges."
Gaylon said the school he is thinking of applying to is Ohio State or Michigan State because he loves those two campuses. He also liked both of their football teams and the different cultures between the two.
"I learned that college can be an amazing part of your life,"said Gaylon."You can meet new people from communities different from your own".
Check this cool slideshow out that Tywon and Gaylon made - it's nice.
