My name is Kerri Banks. I was born and raised in Bessemer, Al. I am the oldest of four children. As the oldest
I am expected to set a good example for my younger siblings. I am the first, from my immediate family,to graduate
high school and jump right into college. At the age of 13, I moved to Huntsville, Al where I finished school and did "Early Graduation" from Sparkman High. Early graduation is when you have earned all
of your credits that you need to graduate, before graduation. So, since you have all of your credits by the end of
the first semester, you don't have to come back second semester. Although I started college early, I still have to
go back and graduate with my class. I am currently a Freshman at UAB where I am majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry.
