Capstone Conversation

At the end of September I went to a Capstone Conversation in the campus room. The conversation was given by Tommy Preston called "Tales from an Unlikely Gamecock". He is a former Capstone Scholar, former student-body president, and a present third-year law student at USC. Tommy was a very good speaker. He was funny, witty, and told lots of stories. One story in particular I thought was very entertaining was his story about the streaker. Since Tommy was student-body president, he had to talk to students who were on the wrong path and try and help them get on track. There was one student who streaked all across campus and no one could figure out why he did it. So, Tommy had to talk to him about why he did it, which was for no reason at all. It was a great story. The reason Tommy was an unlikely Gamecock was that he was a Clemson fan and simply thought USC was just in the middle of a stinky city. However, once he came and visited, which was just because he was in town with a friend, he fell in love. He didn't even realize he wanted to go here until the middle of June right before his freshman year. Tommy had some great things to say about the importance of being involved on campus and networking with anyone you can.
