Proud father Lorenzo Bynum, says he isn’t the least bit shocked at Kassidy’s success. Full of praise he had this to say:
“This girl is a hard worker, loyal friend, organized, witty and makes good decisions,” her father told WKBN. “She loves to learn new things. If she doesn’t know something she will look it up and remember everything about it. She is not afraid to explore new horizons and takes pride in her school and the work she does for IBM. She really makes our job easy as parents.”
Kassidy at the moment is still undecided on the college to choose over a hundred choices, but she’s got the support of her family who together with her tour the colleges to narrow down her choices.
