Christopher Herbert, Jr.  says he’s having a good summer so far, mostly working. He is looking for a better job and wants to buy a car. He’s proud to say he graduated from college in March this year from The Art Institute of Philadelphia with an Associate’s Degree in Digital Film Making and Video Production. He feels blessed that he’s living in his own apartment but would like to go back to the days when he would fall asleep on the couch and wake up in his bed, no concerns- a time when he had freedom and no responsibilities: he didn’t have to cook, clean, wash clothes or pay bills, Lol. He wants someone to carry him- he wants to fly, but doesn’t want to have to flap his wings, he just wants to soar.  Lol. He said his parents used to say ‘enjoy your youth while you’re young,’ “but I would always say to them, I can’t wait ‘til I get grown!” A bit of advice he would like to give to all of his young cousins is to “live and enjoy your life and don’t worry about what other people are doing! At the end of the day, what they’re doing won’t help or hurt you. Follow your dreams!”
