Lion Voices - Demonte Jamison
Happy Friday Lions! Today’s #LionVoices feature is sophomore, Media Communications major, Demonte Jamison. Demonte is from Texarkana, Ӱԭ and graduated from Ӱԭ High.
When asked what swayed his decision to come to Ӱԭ, Demonte said the community, size, and location helped him focus more on his studies and excel in and out of class. “I just wanted a place where I could study and do what I had to do, and a place where there weren’t too many distractions.”
Demonte also credits Ӱԭ with making him more open-minded and more confident in his abilities. “Ӱԭ provides opportunities to try things that I thought I could be good at, but never had the means to do. It gives you a better sense of yourself.” After Ӱԭ, he plans go into sports media,with hopes of filming and creating content for the NFL or NBA.
He says the sense of community and friendship at Ӱԭ sets it apart. “Here, you get more personal interaction with the other students and faculty. It makes me really proud to experience that compared to other places.”
