Darris Dameron by Herbert Little

On September 5, 2010 I had the pleasure of interviewing fellow scholar Darris Dameron. Darris and I have been attending Frostburg State University for the past three years together and I find it interesting this is our first time meeting. I learned that Darris was born in Fort Bennington Georgia, on May 25, 1988. Due to his father’s military responsibilities he often traveled around the east coast of the United States of America. He would end up living in Montross Virginia for good portions of his childhood, where he learned to appreciate the much slow pace country life. When Darris became older he moved to Suitland Maryland where he attended Fredrick Douglas High School. After attending Douglas High School, he was accepted to Frostburg State where is now finishing up his final year of college.
At Frostburg State Darris is majoring in Mass Communication, with a focus in radio and television. The reason he has chosen his focus and major is he finds TV and radio very interesting. Darris hopes that one day his hard work in college will pay off, which will allow him to pursue his dream of becoming a sports analyst on ESPN. Darris’ biggest passion in life his sports, he is a frequent ESPM viewer. He enjoys shows such as Sports center, Sports Nation, NBA on TNT, and many other programming that allows him into the exciting world of sports. Darris would also like to have his sports talk show where he covers a wide selection of different genres of sports. Darris’s all time favorite sport his football. Darris states “I never was one to play football in high school, I was too lazy, but I have always had a huge love for the sport.” I asked Darris about the state of our FSU Bobcats football team this year; surprisingly he doesn’t keep up with the team.
Besides Darris demanding schedule in the classroom he is also very active on campus. Darris is part of the fraternity Sigma Tau Gamma. Darris is a very involved member that truly believes he feels the love from his brothers within the Sigma Tau Gamma organization.
Darris Dameron is just overflowing with potential and is really close to the time where he will have to leave the mountains of Frostburg Maryland and embark on a whole new journey. I cannot speak for Darris , but in the time I got to get to know him he is the last guy I am concerned about not becoming a successful individual in this world, so Darris do not change a bit you are on the right path.
