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!

Centennial Homecoming and Beyond

Homecoming was great! We won the actual Homecoming game 53-22. It was nice to see so many alumni. I attended the majority of the Homecoming events, I think I will begin a scrap book soon and place all of my ticket stubs in it. Today is "Chat With The Chancellor" so I will most definitely be there to voice my few concerns. My time in the Student Government Association has been great. I encourage everyone to get involved! Also I have been invited to participate in the Centennial Scholar's Program. I have accepted the invitation and it is a very good program. I am glad that I was selected to participate in it. Next week I'm participating in a talent show to recite a poem that I wrote Other than that the majority of my time is dedicated to studying for my final exams.

Time Management, and Busy Days

In My World Time Really Is Money. Except Once You Spend Time You Can Never Get It Back, No Refunds Are Available.

Time management is a factor in my days here at NCCU. Things have gotten so hectic that I have a time management plan on my wall where I have mapped out every hour during the day. These hours are marked as class time, study time, homework time, meetings, free time, and many other segments of daily life. This helps me better organize my time so that everything gets done in a timely manner. For example, I'm apart of many organizations on campus. Two of which meet every Thursday at the same time but at two different locations across campus. I'm apart of the Debutante & Boyz-2-Men Mentoring Society, the 100 Black Men of NCCU, and The NAACP NCCU chapter. To add on to my already busy schedule Iv'e been appointed as a Freshman Class Senator. So now I'll have more meetings weekly. But I love it all. I'm proud that I have begun to make a difference and I'm staying involved in school affairs and with the Student Government Association. Tomorrow I am competing in an oratorical contest to win the Freedom Bell Scholarship. Speaking of time management I think I should probably go recite my speech. Goodbye.

52-7

52-7 isn't just a random series of numbers. Its actually the score of our first victory on the football team. Yesterday, we played Central Methodist University, and finally we picked up our first win of the season. The team did an awesome job. I can not accurately express the excitement that I felt. The word excitement inadequately describes the feeling. If a win wasn't enough I got to meet the Chancellor, Charlie Nelms, we talked for a long time during the game. I had never personally spoke with him before the game.

The Aggie-Eagle Classic!

This week is the annual Aggie-Eagle Classic. I'm very excited as this is one of the most highly anticipated football games of the year. Hopefully we will pick up our first win this week as we take on the Aggies. The game is at A&T as you probably already know ill proudly be standing on the "AWAY" side better known as the Eagle's side rooting for the Eagles! If your not supporting the team in the Maroon and Gray Saturday then your supporting the wrong team!!!

Go Eagles!!!Go Eagles!!!

An Amazing Day

Today I met J. Cole. J. Cole Is Jay-Z's first artist to sign with his new recording label Roc Nation. J. Cole was giving out Cd's and autographs today in the Farrison Newton Communication building. I was the first to receive his Cd. I was very excited to learn that he was actually going to be at NCCU. This has been the highlight of my week. Although tomorrow we play Duke University for the first time in football. If we win I may just have a new highlight for this week. Question should I listen to the autographed Cd? Or Frame it?

Our First Home Football Game

Our first home football game is this Saturday at 1:30. I'm so excited; the level of my anticipation is extremely high. Im very excited to see the band perform during half time. I know that the band's performace will be amazing. For the first time during a football game I will be able to show my immense Eagle Pride. Not only that….I even get a grade for attending in Dimensions of Learning class. If that isn't a large enough incentive for attending there will also be a free freshman tailgate. What is better than free food plus fun plus an opportunity to meet new people? Math isn't my subject but fun + food + easy grade = a great day. I am very eager to attend. Saturday could not come fast enough. Have you ever been just as excited as I am to show your school pride?
