If you don’t know Justin Reid, you should. Justin is the kind of guy you can’t help but love. He is smart, funny, handsome (and single, ladies!) and an all-around good guy. For instance, two days after I asked him these interview questions, he apologized for taking so long to respond, but he was studying for a physics test (did I mention he’s smart?). Justin is the kind of person who is willing to help you no matter what, and that doesn’t just apply to his friends. The majority of Justin’s extracurriculars are based around volunteer work. Justin volunteers weekly in the Oncology Patient and Family Resource Center at the hospital as a way to give back some of the positive assistance his family received (two of Justin’s grandparents and his mother have all suffered from cancer). Justin also works with in the Pediatric Playroom as a member of Project Sunshine; a club devoted to keeping kids’ minds off their illness. Of his volunteering, Justin says, “It’s hard to quantify, but just trying to give back, especially in something I empathize with, is why it’s not work for me.”
When Justin isn’t helping others, he likes to cheer on UNC at basketball games (spirited, check!), run the trails around Carolina (healthy, check!), and play piano (musical, check!). After college Justin plans on attending pharmacy school, working in a hospital, and eventually opening his own community pharmacy. When he’s not busy doing all that, Justin plans on traveling the world. Since he has already been to Germany, France and England (a three week long trip after high school on his own), he is looking forward to visiting Eastern Europe.
So ladies, need I say more?
