Leslie’s lifetime ambition is to become a famous artist like Leonardo DiVinci by the age of 30.  He would like to attend a four year university that has a strong Arts department so that he can further himself in drawing and photography and maybe even computer graphic arts.  Leslie would like to be able to help under privileged youth who would like to pursue a career in the arts.  His interests would be to guide them toward the arts department at Suitland High School and maybe assist them financially in pursuing a higher education in college.
