In our first major project, we were assigned to partners to describe them fully, My partners’ name is Hollard, and he’s 20 years old, He graduated from Brookwood high school at the top of the class, and is continuing his education at GSU he’s a sophomore, and his majors are in Finance which is one of his biggest passions, he claims his love for math and numbers comes from a very young age after playing with his first-ever game on cool math games. Hollard picked finance because he plans on taking on a top firm as a Financial Analyst, and moving his way up to being a CFO (Chief Financial Officer), his inspiration comes from Anthony Noto a CFO of Twitter making a whopping amount of 72 million, and working for many other top competitive companies, he claims he’s always had an interest in numbers just like Anthony, and Hollard also claims “working the heart of a company starts from the money which is the foundation”. 

Hollard is from a small town in Georgia called Douglas, Then at the age of 7 Hollard, and his family moved to Fayetteville. Hollard has a job working full time at Luau also known as the Hawaiian chic fil taking the position as a team leader to support his dreams, and fund his education, he claims this is also preparing him to take on the position of a CFO because he also takes care of the finances of the current location he’s working at, he states “I know this is very small, but this is very preparing in someway”. We continued the conversation, and we were discussing,  I asked Hollard what three words he could use to describe himself, and he responded “Persistent, Proactive, and Focused” he claims these three words because he strives, and works for everything he has achieved in his life, he’s always active trying to get to the next level, and has a tunnel vision towards his goals. 

We moved on to the topic of hobbies, and in his spare time, Hollard claims he loves to read, so I asked what his favorite book was, and he stated it was” way of the turtle” he likes this book because it teaches him about patience, and how to turn ordinary people into legends in the financial world. When asked, Hollard claims he doesn’t like the college concept and is really frustrating because of the lack of structure in the school, and a harder course load. Hollard believes the school should be way more hands-on since this is what we are actually preparing to do instead of pushing even more bookwork on us for the internships, and jobs to not even be on the same level, and concept, which brings me to the concluding question is the college concept really as botched as people say it is?.
