Daequan Starkes-Hey!


Hey everybody! My name is Daequan and I am from Rochester, NY. I am also a Junior and English major. I can't wait to graduate, but I want to be a English professor so I will still be in school for awhile even when I do graduate from Fredonia,..but I look forward to the future and all it has and can't wait for the next chapter in my life. One memory I have form literature is the first book I read that had a huge impact on me which was Tricks by Ellen Hopkins. It made me feel so many emotions and really made me aware of some things that go on in the world that I never really thought about and even though it was a fictional book the author received ideas from real people, and the fact that people really went through some of those things was a complete shock to me when I was younger. That book will always be the one to have a long lasting impact on me and the one that made me really start reading. And the last book I read(still reading) outside of school is The Maze Runner by James Dashner.
