Lekia
Clark is a fun loving Cambridge RA that likes to watch reality
television and read gossip magazines in her spare time, but unlike
most Frostburg students, she spent most of her high school time
twirling guns and volunteering at military bases in the JROTC
program. She joined the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps after
her grandfather died as a way to feel closer to him and stuck with it
throughout high school. While the program had no training regimen like a physical standard, it trainees would run or walk a mile to
understand their physical limits rather than to break them. Lekia
spent her time learning survival skills, sending care packages to
soldiers, going to schools on base, and the aforementioned gun
twirling and military base volunteer.
Once she started college, she
had a lot of time on her hands since she was no longer a part of the
JROTC program. She it was good change because she was so serious in
high school and she wanted a more normal life now. With all her free
time, she took to reality and gossip magazines quite quickly since
she would spend her off time watching the E! Channel on TV. She
currently hopes to be a PR consultant as she said she wants to be the
voice of another person of product. She first attended VSU but
transferred because she wanted to be closer to her family, which
includes her older brother and younger sister that are both six years
apart from her, her parents, one set of grandparents and thirty-some
cousins one of who also attends FSU.
While her training most likely
will not help her advance through the world of PR consulting, she can
still retain at least some skills she developed in the program
including the ability to spot a soldier out of uniform. Two lessons
that can be learned from Lekia's story seems to be to obviously not
judge a book by its cover, and that the journey down life's windy
road can be a very interesting one.
