Diata’s Inferno
Quotes and Quirky Notes that Didn’t Make it in to the Print Paper.

Transcript of a conversation between Coach Winn and Diata Whitfield:
“Still on track to graduate?” Winn asks.
“Yeah.” Whitfield replies.
“Get your stuff turned in?”
“I was gonna do that tomorrow.”
“For the SLCC thing?”
“When’s it due?”
“Its Due March 1st.”
“Oh, ok you’re good then.”
What Whitfield wants to be when he grows up:
“Long term I want to get my RN for my BSN,” Whitfield Said. “So it’s like registered nursing and then my bachelors degree of science.”
“I want to get my associates at SLCC.” Whitfield Said. “I Tell people that I want to get it through my BSN, but I’m probably going to end up getting it through my ASN.”
“At the end of the day, I just want to help people.”
“I don’t want to be rich.” Whitfield said. “I just want to be happy”
“I just bought a car!” Whitfield said. “It’s good to be able to get around.”
My Impression of Diata:
Who is Diata Whitfield? He makes eye contact. He is kind and more genuine than most people that I know. He is himself. He drives his own path and makes his own way. After just a few minutes with me, he opened up. He has real feelings. He is incredibly strong, mentally and emotionally. He doesn’t like to victimize himself. He is concerned about public appearance, but not attached to it. His eyes are warm. He acts like he is smaller than he is. He holds himself normally, not too upright or too slouched. He wants to help other people. He is more sensitive than he looks. He used to have long hair, and acts like it.
