What inspires you from WFSU Public Media? Here's this week's Voices That Inspire. I am Ronnie Gerrine-Fill's Jr. a senior at the Gaston County High School. I will be graduating May 25th, 2018. My interest in mass communications came about simply because I just had this Christmas toy. And it was really intriguing to go around and see other people's opinions on current events and things that were going on in the community and around school campus. And I really want to see how far this can take me. I feel as if I am an inspiration now because I have done a lot of things that aren't usually socially accepted for a male to do, such as being a cheerleader, a dancer, and things of that nature. So I feel as if I inspire boys who want to come up and maybe he wants to be a part of the cheerleader squad or he wants to be a dancer. I hope I keep this positive beam so that in the future it'll be different for a little boy who wants to be a cheerleader or a dancer or what was not usually of a male. If you can ask anyone in my family always saying, you know, you've been singing and dancing and acting ever since you could walk. And it's just, I live and breathe to perform. Like when I wake up and when I go to sleep I'm thinking about routines. I'm thinking about, you know, when it's my next performance or when it's this or when it's that. So it's just something that's been coursing through me ever since I could remember. My name is Ronnie Gerrionfields Jr. I attend the guest in County High School in Havana, Florida and I would graduate May 25th, 2018. Voices that inspire is sponsored by Leadership Tallahassee, a program of the Tallahassee Chamber celebrating 35 years of cultivating community leadership.
