I am Aidan Bright. I am from Lake City, SC just a few miles from Florence, SC. I am a freshmen here at the University of South Carolina. However, I am a recent graduate from Lake City High School. During my high school time, I was the lead in the school with over 350 community service hours. While there I also was apart of: The Gentlemen's Club, Student Government, Yearbook Committee, Assistant Athletic Director, National Honor Society, National Beta Club, National Society of High School Scholars, and National English Honor Society. As far as the Student Government, I was the Student Body President. After being accepting into USC as a first gen student, it was already one for the books. I was enrolled without needing any payment from pocket, as scholarships paid it in full. I can not wait to finish my first semester here, and as apart of the Admissions Student Council I can't wait to help others make USC there "Forever To Thee." A fun fact about me, is that I plan to place my name on the Presidential Ballot for USA in 2048.

Describe your college experience

My transition to college went great. I was so ready to call USC home for the next 4 years. Upon arriving for move in day on August 17, the University of South Carolina was so welcoming as if they already knew you for months (face-to-face). I have been gaining so much interest in planning to join more clubs next semester of my freshmen year, and I can't wait to make a positive impact on this great school.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been University 101. This class breaks down the background of everything the university has to offer. I love the mentors and professors who teach this class, as they were students themselves.

Career goals

After college I plan to be a Sideline Reporter for ESPN. Following that for a few years, I plan to run for president in 2048.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I tend to hang out with friends as they live next door to me. They are also graduates from my high school.
