his reason for wanting success. |
Brandon claims that
his drive to be great comes front!
his mom, saying that before
he “never really saw the pdtnf||sj

"looking at the impact it has on',

those around him, whether it’s byt
leading by example as a student^
or participating in community ■
service events.
As a Chicago native, Brown has
noticed a major difference in the
quality of resources given to res^
idents of the Northside versus
those on the Southside.
“Seeing the difference infdj|||

mentioned the legacy that he
wants to leave. “I want them to be
like ‘That’s the man on campus.
That’s the guy you need to get to

being able to help others with the
platform that he hopes to create
for himself. He mentioned hqvyf
