Thanksgiving Break!!!!

I finally arrived home yesterday. I am ecstatic to be home. I get to see my friends from other colleges and my family that is back home for once. I got to sleep in my OWN bed yesterday that was great. It will be nice to go to our city's annual Christmas/Thanksgiving parade today. And Tommorow, the best day of all THANKSGIVING! It has been far too long since I have gotten the chance to taste my favorite dessert, sweet potato pie. At least I have came home and left Durham with the satisfaction that I have helped to successfully make a difference in a few families' life's for Thanksgiving. Along with the Freshman Class Council we collected 622 pounds of food to be donated to different families throughout the holiday season. We also collected funds to help feed a family for Thanksgiving. Not only was I apart of that can food drive, but in the Centennial Scholar's Program we also collected can foods for families throughout Durham with the help of the Durham Alumni Chapter of North Carolina Central University. Although it is Thanksgiving Break, It really isn't a true break. Even here at home during my relaxation period I'm finding that I still have to exercise time management, because I have loads of homework and studying to do for exams and I wish to enjoy some quality time with my friends and family.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
