Response: “I think someone who has grown up middle class, instead of poor or rich. I feel like they’d have a little bit of both perspectives — they’d know what it's like to not have all the money in the world and also know what it's like to need money. They’d vouch more for middle class people, who I feel like aren’t not vouched for enough.”
Name: Michael Drewery
Year: Freshman
Major: Pre-business
