Demostric Ray is a Georgia–born native. His schoolings include Redan Middle School and Redan High School. During his middle school and high school life, he claimed that school was a burden because he never understood why it was so important. He did have the motivation for decent grades because of the sports he was interested in. But this was not going to help him enough because he developed that “whatever it takes” mentality. Now that he is in college, he is a sophomore transfer from Palomar College in California. After learning this, I also found out that he enjoys the west coast more than the east coast. Now attending Georgia State University, the 24-year-old has been here since the Fall semester of 2021 and will be transferring to Life University in the fall of 2022. He said that he wants to transfer to Life University because they can provide him with more classes that involve his major. But before all of this during his early college life, he would say that being disciplined in school was difficult with someone telling him what he should and should not do. After seeing that it was hard, he had enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to learn discipline. Despite him still being on active duty, he found his passion in school for which he was inspired to be a chiropractor. One of the biggest influences in his life is his uncle. His uncle had also gone into the military. His motivation is that he will be a first-generation graduate, being a doctor, and his self-driven motivation. Demostric is proud to say that he now has good time management, he uses resources that are provided for him, and he has a set plan for his future. But despite all this, there are times when he feels as if college is overwhelming and that he fears he will fall behind in his studies. He also feels as if grades in college are frustrating because they play a factor in your studies. Outside of college, he is a personal trainer for those who need help in the gym. He enjoys reading the book Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson. After interviewing Demostric my view on him is that he seems like a genuine person who cares about his future and that he wants to make his parents proud of him after all those times in middle school and high school where they would provide set times for him to study. I would be glad to see Demostric achieve his dreams of being a chiropractor in the future.
