Bio coming soon!

Raymie joined the LIVE Program in the Spring of 20009.

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you all how I became Student Org. Assistant here

In North-East Fairbanks born and raised
On the ski-hill was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all involved in Red Cross, honors all part of the school
When a couple of girls
Who were up to some good
Started asking me to join their neighborhood
I got in one little interview and they started to share
They said 'Now your responsible for the Student Org. Fair'

Later that month

I whistled for a ride and when the van came near
The license plate said UAF and it had a Nanook in the mirror
If anything I can say this van was uncool
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Taku'

I walked up to the Wood Center about 7 or 8
And I yelled to my friends 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit in my seat in the Leadership lair
