– Thanks Alex, hey, y’all so a little bit about me growing up my dad always instilled in me, the importance in value of really serving and interacting with my community. Not only through his words, but thorough his actions and Denton is the perfect place to put those lessons to the test. Here at UNT, I was quickly able to get involved with things like student activities, religious communities, and that was even able to use my background gymnastics to land a spot on the North Texas cheer team. Where we won our first national championship in 20 years while also cheering on the meanduring game days. ♪ Lets go Mean s ♪ ♪ Lets go A-A-G–O-E-E-A ♪ ♪ Let’s go ♪
– Through NTC, I was also able to land a job with the Dallas Mavericks, which is a super cool opportunity and highlights one of the reasons I lived in so much because I still get that small college town charm while also being only a 30 to 40 minutes away from the stockyards of Fort worth to the big city of Dallas. It really makes it a unique place to live. Now I’m not really from here. So I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little bit nervous when I showed up. I didn’t really know anybody, but the community here is like none other. And it really makes you feel welcome. Like you have a family, the moment you on campus. It also showed why Denton is one of the top ranked college towns in the nation between live music, good food, unique shops, nature, art, fashion, you name it. There’s something you’re interested in. We have it here. Ultimately, why I love den is the laid back, cool nature, plenty of things to do and opportunity for you to follow your dreams. And so thankful to the University of North Texas, providing me the opportunity to figure out what I wanted to do and what direction I wanted to go in life through my education. And for me, that looks like staying in PT school right here in Den. Thank you for listening to a little bit of my story. Let’s throw those towns up and send it back to you, Alex.
– Levi Den is so cool. The people, the music, the art, the murals nature, the food, and only a short drive from major cities like Dallas and Fort Worth. Everyone’s got to come and visit this place, Thanks Levi.
