A common Bond

I've become much more social while I've been at North Carolina Central University. At the time I simply figured that I had "grown out" of my own shyness an anxiety towards strangers. At a second thought I realized that there were no strangers around campus to be shy around. Although everyone on campus comes from a different background or different cultures, we shared a common bond.... we are all Eagles! That common bond makes us a family of some sort. One really gets the feeling that we would all look out for each other in every ones time of need. I am very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family. I love all my fellow Eagles for welcoming me to there family, but not just current students even the alumni. Most of my instructors are alumni and they understand my struggles as they have already been down the road that I'm just beginning. Not only that, during the summer before I arrived as a freshman at NCCU there were many alumni hosted cookouts and different social gatherings upon our arrival at NCCU. Because the alumni care so much it proves just how strong the NCCU Alumni Association really is. I know that once I've completed my four years at NCCU, I can count on the networking skills of the alumni of NCCU to help me secure a career. Again I say I am not only proud to be part of this wonderful family but blessed.

  1. Ryan,
    I am enjoying your blog. Just wanted to tell you about a conversation that I had with Stephen and Sydney. They talked about how much you helped them at Gethsemane. Thought you'd like to know that you made a difference in their life!!!

    I look forward to seeing great things from you!
