Teraisha Warren: Are you a student here?
Jason Bell, Starbucks manager: No. I actually attend San Jacinto College and The Art Institute.
Warren: OK. What are you going to do for spring break?
Bell: I’ll be here training people for Starbucks’ ASTA certification.
Warren: Are you going to do anything fun?
Bell: I get off all week early. I think I’m going to go to the beach on Sunday. It’s Galveston, so it’s not really anything major – just hanging out with the family, my nephews flying kites, going to the park.
Warren: How many you got?
Bell: Four nephews (and) four nieces.
Warren: You go to San Jacinto. Do you want to be an artist or go into design?
Bell: Graphic design and fashion design. When you go to the Art Institute, you take everything in. It’s better because I can’t draw and we do everything on the computer, so I kind of have it easy.
Warren: But you want to focus on the fashion part of it?
Bell: Yeah. I do some modeling now, and I just feel like if I’m not successful as a model, I can do some fashion or interior design.
Warren: What made you want to go into fashion?
Bell: Modeling. I am a fashion connoisseur. I love fashion.
Warren: I have a shopping issue.
Bell: My sister just admitted her problem earlier today.
Warren: I have a closet full of shoes that are still in boxes that I have never worn. I will buy outfits later, but right now I’m just going to keep buying shoes.
Bell: Shoes always fit. I am the type of person if I see you and you look good, you’re hot, you’re sexy… I like to tell people that.
