Lonnie explained to her that he and his team had made the fish market a more enjoyable place to work. The first step was to “choose your attitude”. Although Mary Jane understood choose your attitude and what it meant, she didn’t see how there were any similarities between the fish market and First Guarantee.

Before Christmas break I went to an event at UNCG called the Spartan Showcase, and there were three particular programs that captured my attention; UNCG-in 3, Lloyd Honors College, and UNCG-Guarantee. The representatives at the Guarantee table were amiable and they seemed to stand apart from the rest of the programs in the room, and when I approached the table they took time to explain and describe the program to me. After the explanation, I was convinced that I would like to apply, in fact, I was so ready that one of the student representatives went ahead and gave me a future scholar sticker.

For me, becoming a UNCG Guarantee Scholar would mean a higher chance of success, along with many opportunities, and support for my growth and development into a campus and community leader.
