He is a part of the Theatre Performance magnet and wants to join the debate team and join the track team in the spring. In his free time, he enjoys reading biographies and Harlem Renaissance poetry, listening to neo soul, R&B, and jazz music, and going out and getting to know people. He has a sister named Olivia who is in the 11th grade here. After graduating from Lee, he plans to go to college and pursue a career in entertainment or become a lawyer. Way to go, Shawn!
