"Fool, your like an icon in Georgetown haha I say I go to SU and the first thing that comes out their mouth is "Hey you know Dee right?" it is crazy!"

Everywhere we go somebody knows Dee.. walking somewhere that should take 5 minutes can take 20 minutes when he runs into someone and trust me he always does whether it is another student, a professor, a faculty member, or a parent

EVERYONE LOVES DEE.

To be known as a good self monitor one must have an ability for people to change their behavior in response to the context they are placed (Snyder, 1987). Dee often admits to having this ability.

"I know how to adapt to my surrounding. Depending on the situation I know how to act and what to say!"

-Demetrice Spearman

Along with his ability to adapt to his surroundings, Dee has also found himself a little acting career. This is Dee and some of his other co-workers on the set of Friday Night Lights.

Q: How is being able to act related to self-monitoring?

A: Snyder's research in self-monitoring (1974) shows that individuals who are high self-monitors agree with the statement "In different situations and with different people, I often act like very different persons." as well as the statement "I would probably make a good actor."

Although it can be a little difficult being the girlfriend of such a great self-monitor (because I myself am way less of one), I believe that it a overall good thing. He is a great person and lets be real: It is not always about what you have but about who you know.

... and one last thing just for fun
