If you won a billion dollars, what would you do with the money?

The first thing everybody would say is pay off all my debt, which I’m very proud to say I don’t owe hardly anybody anything. The other thing is that I’d give to a couple charities just to make sure that people I care about are taken care of. 

 

I would take the money and try to revamp the adoption process and try to get a grant for kids that are in foster care who have to stay all the way through because no one would take them. That’s a big thing for me right now because of going through it, almost having a child and losing the child because the system messed up. 

 

For children of all creeds, race, reading. I do believe that we are a dominant country and a lot of kids still don’t know how to read. In order for things that are going on right now with race, and people not getting along and people not accepting peoples’ genders and stuff, we have to start at home. How you’re raised is how you think.

What were you most grateful for in 2020?

That everybody that I cared for - family, friends, coworkers - were healthy and safe. I’m very grateful for where I’m from, the United States and from Morgantown. I’m very grateful that I’m from Morgantown because we didn’t get hit as hard as most places. Even though the vaccine rollout is slow, we can get to it more. We’re ahead of most places. I’m feel very blessed about that.

 

What were you most excited for in 2021?

I was excited to get back to a normal - or what would be a new normal - routine. To be able to go outside and not be afraid.
