College: St. John's University Hometown: New Haven, CT

Hello, my name is DaLonn Pearson and I am a resident of New Haven, Connecticut. I live with my father and stepmother and I have six sisters, ranging in age from new born to 21 years old. I attended high school in Winchester, Massachusetts as part of the “A Better Chance” program. In high school I wrestled and played basketball for two years, as well as football for four years. I was the house president for 2 years at Winchester and I was a volunteer coach for an eighth grade off season basketball.

I am currently attending St. John’s University in Queens, New York. As of right now, my major is undeclared, but I plan on taking up buisness management and advertisement. One day I wish to own my own business advertising for professional athletes. Outside of studying I like to be very active. I am a captain and starting quarterback for one of our flag football teams at St. John’s University and during my free time I play basketball with friends. I look forward to sharing my college experience with you all. Everything is a learning experience.
