Johnston High School and will be attending NC State University majoring
in Criminal Justice. His career goal is to be a SBI or FBI agent. His
reasons for choosing this objective are best stated in his own words, “I
see this as the greatest goal because I want to be able to look back on
my life as an old man and be able to say I have made a difference in
someone’s life, and I believe the best way for me to complete that task is
by tracking and taking down criminals who prey on the innocent and
disrupt or even harm the American way of living”. One of Gray’s
gentlemen his age do not. He is confident, well-spoken, and hard
working. I have never known Gray not to achieve what he set out to
accomplish. He has a no quit attitude”.
