 Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Native American Music. It was really easy and the teacher made it very enjoyable as we learned about the music culture of different Native American tribes. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going on a vegetarian diet for two weeks. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave.

One thing I would like to try if I had more time is going golfing. A few of my favorite foods a
