Biography on LaCorey Cunningham

My Interviewee was LaCorey Cunningham a sophomore student that attends

Chapel Hill University and is majoring in exercise science while participating in work-

study to help provide funds for school. LaCorey Cunningham grew up in a 3 siblings and

2-parent household in which she experienced a lot and learned even more. LaCorey was

the middle child and had an older sister and a younger brother. Her older sister Latonia

was a great athlete competing in volleyball as well as basketball where she would go on

to receiving a full scholarship to western Carolina to continue her volleyball career.

LaTonia was mediocre when it came to school and making outstanding grades. With this

being said Latonia never made below a c in school. LaCoreys little brotherGreg was

also an outstanding athlete in whom he competed in track as well as football. He would

go on to receive a full football scholarship in football at UNCC. Gregory was also

mediocre when it came to performing in the classroom. He was extremely lazy in school

and only did enough to get by. LaCorey also played sports; she participated in track,

volleyball, and basketball. LaCorey was good in sports but not as interested in it as her

siblings and felt like she was always over looked in the household. LaCorey suffered

from what she called middle child syndrome. LaCorey then began looking for ways to

make her happy and her parents proud as her she felt her siblings did.


4/4

LaCorey took a different approach and decided to take her schoolwork as serious

as possible and competed in grades harder than any of her siblings had competed in

sports. This was good and benefitted her because not only did it help her feel better about

herself it was something she was really good at due to the fact that she was already far

more intelligent than she even knew. It had gotten to the point where she never made a B

in school. She received only one be her middle school career and 3 her high school

career. The rest of her schooling consisted of As all the way across the board. LaCorey is

someone I not only look up to but admire as a person. She takes school so serious and

hasnt made below an A on the college level and she has never made below an A in

English itself. For this type of history I feel as if she would be more than successful in

todays educational system. I feel that she is just one of those people that just has a knack

for learning and just get it, which is a very special characteristic to have.
