FEATURE that Caldwell was the director of Admissions and Enrollment Services. Steele said that Caldwell asked him what classes he needed to take for the fall semester, and eventually signed him up. During that semester Steele worked only one job and paid for school as he went. Steele did this through the following spring semester as well. “I’ve made my own, like, 10-month plan, so by the end of these 10 months… I will be able to pay my college as I am going to college,” Steele said. Steele said that getting involved allowed him to understand how offices around campus work and how people on campus really want to help you succeed. This past summer, Steele got a job for Student Affairs at the Call Center, where he gets to answer questions for people who are going through similar financial situations like him. Steele said that getting to provide those answers for people is really rewarding. “I don’t want anyone to be in that tight of a hole,” Steele said. Even though Steele said that he would never want someone to go through the financial worry that he did, he said he still believes that going to college is worth it. “I really, really believe that college is 20 percent getting your degree. College is 80 percent meeting the people who are going to change your life forever,” Steele said.

In his spare time, Steele works on a video game with six other people, T:9.75 ‘’ some of which are also Computer Science majors from UCO. Steele is the project lead of the team and helps

them set up goals and deadlines. The team is currently still working on the game but are hoping to finish it sometime soon.
