With multiple scholarships and acceptances from various colleges and universities it was time for Justin to make his first real life decision. Unlike his sister Justin took a different approach straying away from the city life and chose to attend Tuskegee University. The proximity of being far enough from home for freedom but close enough to visit at will was perfect.
