Behind the Bricks - Mfon Udoka
Nov. 18, 2010
Behind the Bricks Our new weekly feature "Behind the Bricks" allows DePaul letterwinners a chance to tell the DePaul community a little bit about themselves, a brief reflection on their time as a Blue Demon student-athlete and where they have gone since stepping off the court, field or diamond. This feature was renamed "Beyond the Bricks" to coincide with the dedication of the John and Dale Melbourne Herklotz Letterwinners Plaza and Champions Courtyard. With the plaza filled with 3,800 bricks representing DePaul's student-athletes since 1926, each brick has a story. "Beyond the Bricks" will allow letterwinners to tell their "DePaul Story".

1. What does being a DePaul Letterwinner mean to you? 5. What was your funniest memory at DePaul? Any interaction between Latasha Byears and Coach Bruno imitating her slang. Pure comedy! 6. Brief Summary of your life from graduation till now: Today I have a severely jacked up right knee from two surgeries and wear and tear, but I wouldn't trade my arthritis or discomfort for any of my experiences. 7. What advice would you give to a current or future student-athlete? Work hard on your craft and don't be afraid to take chances or fail. Failure is a part of life and helps you appreciate success later. Figure out whether you want to make money in your career or not and then pick a major accordingly. Put off serious relationships until you get to know yourself, which takes YEARS! You need to live your own life and have your own experiences before sharing your life with someone else. Always put yourself and your best interests before someone elses. Favorites: Movie: Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men Quote: Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
