- Michigan State University graduate Mark Woodhouse talks about growing up in urban Detroit with his father and suburban Ann Arbor with his mother. Woodhouse credits the environment in Ann Arbor with pushing him towards college and speculates on the apparent lack of desire for higher education among minorities. He says he enjoyed the integrated campus at MSU and talks about his freshman year and shares some of his experiences in dealing with his white dorm mates. Woodhouse explains why he majored in telecommunications after a physics class and an internship ended his aspirations of majoring in engineering. He calls telecommunications a really difficult field to break into and can't predict what he will be doing in ten years. Woodhouse hopes that he can work in film industry but says that he needs more family support to move to Los Angeles to make it happen.
