HC: Who is your role model?


Kenan: Definitely Goku from Dragon Ball Z because he is the perfect human being. He shows you that no matter how bad things get, that you should always be positive and selfless and put others before you. It happens in every episode. I also like Kobe Bryant because if you doubt him, he shows you why you should not come back and doubt him again.

HC: What do you look for in a girl?

Kenan: I don’t really have a type, I really like all different types of girls. I guess I like a girl that knows how to be herself around me and doesn’t feel the need to impress others. If she wants to impress me that’s different, but the moment you are stuck up, I am not on good terms with that…

HC: What is your idea of the perfect date in Geneva, New York?

Kenan: I’d like to take her to Ichiro.

HC: What is something that most people do not know about you?

Kenan: Well not a lot of people did not use to know this, but I told a lot of people now… I used to watch Dragon Ball Z.

HC: How do you feel about being nominated as a Campus Cutie?

Kenan: Definitely honored, flattered … I feel excited to actually see it happen.

HC: What do you hope to accomplish before you graduate?

Kenan: I hope to be, well, I don’t really know. I’d say probably to get a 4.0 GPA, it probably won’t happen, but I hope that it would.

HC: What is something that is on your Bucket List? Have you ever accomplished anything on it?

Kenan: I always wanted to play college basketball, which I achieved. I guess I would like to go to Rome or some foreign European country.

HC: Do you have a motto that you live by?

Kenan: Just work hard and always keep your head up!

HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?


Kenan: America’s Next President … or probably just working in Washington D.C. at the White House, working my way up to the top.

HC: What was your worst date?


Kenan: I don’t go on dates actually, I just like to chill and hangout in my dorm room. I asked a girl on a date once, we went to Coldstone, and it was not bad!
