Who I am and where I'm from.

My name is Gerald Collins, Jr. I inherited my name from my father Gerald Collins, Sr. I was born on January 1, 1991. I was born and raised in Washington, DC and Temple Hills, MD. I have one sister, Kay, who attends Widener University in Chester, PA. I am of African, Hispanic, and Native American heritage. I am lucky to have so many ethnicities in family. It taught me how to virtually get along with anyone. Growing up in the city I fell in love with dancing and artwork quickly. This two elements stick with me to this day as I am hoping to major in Graphic Design. I also am a member of the hip-hop dance team Major Definition at UMBC.

  5. I have to admit that your link was the only one I checked out. You guys were incredible in that video. I didn't even know that UMBC had a hip-hop dance team.

  8. What makes you dance, is it the music, is it the feeling you get from it, I am just curious.
