On this week’s episode of Voices of the Valley, I talk with Dr. DeWitt Scott, student support specialist at Moraine. We start off talking about his passion for basketball and how it was the only thing he thought about when he was younger. After playing for one of the best-ranked high schools in the country, he made it to the NBA G-league and played all over the country.
However, he realized he wouldn’t make it to the pros, so he switched his focus, bringing the hunger and drive he felt for basketball to his education. His passion for learning is inspiring, and one of the things he said that sticks with me is that walking across the stage when he earned his PhD was just the start of learning for him.
