A few words one might use to describe AJ Yearwood as a person are kind and compassionate. He is, at his core, a person who wants to have the  ability to help others. These kind character traits are part of  the reason why, after high school, he wants to become a social worker, and are what currently assist  him in his current job at Chick-Fil-A in moments like when he is involved in  customer service.

AJ’s  social working aspirations are a way that he feels will help him spread his kindness to the world and allow him to let his best qualities show forward. HIs extroverted personality has helped him shine in places like summer camp, which he describes as one of his favorite memories. For AJ, summer camp provided him to bond with others and  “make memories that will last for him forever.”

AJ enjoys watching sports in his spare time with his favorite sport being football. His favorite team is the Seattle Seahawks, which gives him a chance to follow his favorite player,  Russell Wilson. In addition to football, he likes to  listen to music from artists  like Lil Baby, someone who he would like to watch him perform live. In fact, AJ says that he has “ would love to see him at the fillmore” and has been “Dm’ing him everyday”  

AJ holds his family close to him because they are his “rock” and his support system who he says he can go to for “anything.”  In fact, his family is really where he gets his kindness and ability to help others. He goes to them for help and guidance including their assistance in becoming a better writer which he proclaims he wants to be his biggest takeaway from this course.
