Favorite MLK quote: “Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”

Future Plans: Johnathan plans to work as an engineer or computer scientist after studying at UF or UCF.
