How did KU prepare you for life and career after college?
The shift I made between 18 and 22 in my belief system and in myself set me on the path I follow today. The social studies/environmental rights classes appear throughout my writing and public speaking. While college does not prepare you to be a rock n roll musician, many of the themes I became passionate about are the basis of the band's charity work and worldview.
