Ashton Coffee has been here at the YMLA for 7 years now. He is from the pride of Dunbar, class of 2026. He will be attending the University of Houston and majoring in marketing. So sit down and grab a cup of some Ashton Coffee.
The YMLA engineering program brought him here, but after taking two classes of engineering, he switched to business. He stayed here because of how YMLA helps you get into college pretty easily and because they’re putting you in a good position for universities.
His favorite subject is art. He specifically really likes graphic design. His favorite teacher is Lieutenant Colonel Murphy. “He has helped me with my discipline and my respect issues, and he has helped me become a better public speaker”. His hobbies are video games and photography. He describes himself as very passionate about his friends and his interests. The people who really helped him along the way were his mom, teachers, and his friends. Here are some of his designs below.
When asked about how he felt about graduating in may he said “It’s good to get it over with, but to be fair, I’d rather have not rushed myself to get to this point, I’d rather have been prepared.” His advice about Highschool is “Learn about college as soon as possible because it will really help in your senior year”
We will miss him greatly and we wish him the best of luck in his pursuit of a marketing degree at University of Houston.
