Dr. Mackins became involved in his profession because he was inspired by the people whom he mentored over the years, for these people succeed in life. Some of them were promoted to high level positions, such as becoming the president or the vice president of the bank, which then inspired him to pursue a career path in education, in which his goal was to help as many people as he could, including students, teachers, administrators and other professionals.
In the coming years, Dr. Mackins hopes to be promoted to a principal position or a director position. His goal is to make a difference in the lives of others, particularly students, teachers and administrators in the community.
