Don Washington

        Don Washington was born in South Asia but it honestly doesn’t show. Mr. Washington doesn't have any accent that shows any proof that hes from South Asia, so I was shocked when he said he was from South Asia . He went to high school in Oklahoma and during those high school years and some college years he was an insecure teenager. He was a jock during high school that had a Korean accent and was quiet.

        A big part of Don Washington's career is that he writes. Don Washington writes three different genres. He writes horror, science fiction, and he also writes for a blog about politics. His real job is as a researcher of organizers in training. From what I’ve collected he’s really quite a political person.

        Mr. Washington has a pretty good view on education although he was trying to make a point I couldn't help but laugh at the way he was trying to make it although I understand what he had meant. Mr. Washington believes that we are supposed to get an education so we don’t have to end up as he stated, ”working at seven eleven.” He's currently working on the school to prison pipeline.

        Don is doing something about the fact that some schools in Chicago don’t have all the materials they need for the students such as textbooks aren’t all available to every student, some schools don’t have good desk, and shocking as this might be some schools don’t actually have a library which every student should have the privilege of having in their school.

When asked what is one of Mr. Washington's regrets, Mr. Washington replied that he doesn’t really ‘believe in regrets” as he said. Mr. Washington is a very funny man though he is someone you can not be around without having a smile on your face during our interview with him our table was laughing and smiling. He's someone who even if he doesn't know you it’s hard to not enjoy his company.

Mr. Washington is a very interesting person that I’m grateful of having the privilege of meeting and having the privilege of see first hand how a piece of his personality is. If given a second  chance to have redone that interview I wouldn't have had it any different. That was a funny and yet comfortable interview.
