BIOGRAPHY: My name is Shilise Patterson, I am from a small town named Weldon known as the Rockfish Capital of the world. I am the only child of my mom and dad ‚Tenekquala Patterson and Jerome Patterson. My mom brought out my love for school when I’d watch her teach her second grade class at Pittman elementary, where I attended preschool. From then on I went to Weldon elementary and excelled in many different ways. I was a cheerleader and honor roll student during my time there and the first ever student to make two five’s on both the math and reading EOG in the third grade; which is a very special academic achievement. I was a part of an academically gifted program from second grade up into middle school. I attended KIPP Gaston College Prep, where they held us to strict expectations that taught me to use my time wisely. I was an honor roll student all throughout middle school. This gave me an amazing opportunity to experience life and education at Deerfield Academy. During my time there, I took advanced classes and met other intelligent KIPP students from all over the country. This experience will always carry a special place in my heart. After eighth grade, I made the decision to leave KIPP and attend Northampton County Early College Highschool. An achievement of mine is becoming a member of the National Beta club my freshman year and later on becoming president. Another program I am also in TRIO, where we help low income students tour universities and apply for grants and scholarships. While being in high school, I have been maintaining school and a part time job at cracker barrel. In addition after class, I do community service at CADA head start on Halifax Community College Campus. I have enjoyed the last three years on campus and I will always be grateful for my high school experience.
