  10. My name is Angel Stinnett. This is my second semester at VWCC. This is also the third time I've been in school,and the second time I've changed my degree plans. I am in the IT department this time around and really enjoy it.
    My interests include current affairs and history. I am a conservative (as some of you already have guessed) and would like to be involved in politics some how. I don't like the way things have been going but know that in order to have a positive effect going forward, I have to know from whence we came. I am looking forward to this semester and learning all I can.
