Small pictured himself working in business. However, in December of 2017, his career plan changed when his mother passed away. Small said he extended his stay in undergrad at UCF to take courses to prepare him for his new path in medicine. He underwent two 15-credit semesters, one in which he took general chemistry and biochemistry together, to finish in four years. Small’s family members said he overcame the odds and they are all proud of him. “I was really fortunate to tour a lot of different med schools,” Small said. “I toured at UCLA. I went to NYU. I went to Albert Einstein. There was no place that I felt more comfortable than being here.” Tijuana Flats on Archer to relocate to Butler Plaza North THE NEW LOCATION WILL OPEN ON Jazmyn Reed, associate public relations manager for MONDAY AND FEATURE 63 SEATS Findsome & Winmore, an Orlando marketing agency, INSIDE AND 40 SEATS OUTSIDE said the franchise is changing some of its locations to Tijuana Flats’ new store layout that features new decor.
