Fall Convocation

Hey Eagles,
How are you guys doing? I hope you’re doing well. A thought came to mind yesterday and I just had to state that if your wondering why I always say hello Eagles and you haven’t gotten accepted yet or haven’t even applied and are just interested in NCCU, it is because with the thought in mind to attend this great institution, you have already began to soar. And I’m not sure if you know but the eagle is no common ordinary barn yard fowl. Which clearly means it’s one of a kind and not like any other bird; the eagle actually soars. And you are soaring just by taking the next step in your education; so congratulations eagle.
Last week I told you guys that I would let you in on how the fall convocation for our 100th year as an institution went and it was great. The speakers were touching and very emotionally connected in the words they spoke about our university. It was a lovely experience. And I really wish everyone in the world would have attended, but I doubt the gym is large enough. It was really exciting and I am happy that our school is entering year its the 100th year. Through it all I’ve been trying to connect with myself on a more spiritual level. So I am trying to change my diet in order to be mentally and physically healthier. I decided I would take pork off the menu and I think it’s a pretty good decision. I tried to stop eating beef and pork but I think that’s a bit much. So help me through this eagles, don’t let me fly alone.

Labor day Weekend!

Hey Eagles and future eagles,


I just wanted to give you a brief update about my holiday weekend. I have to definitely say I never thought I could miss someone I’ve only known for three weeks but, the ladies that I’ve made acquaintances with over the past three weeks went back to their home towns and I stayed here with my boyfriend. Although anytime spent with him is grand, I really missed the girls and I was so interested in what they were doing and how their families and friends back home were reacting to them coming home after three weeks of being away at school. I guess I just had to get past missing them and continue with my weekend. It actually turned out nicely, I attended two cookouts: one was at my boyfriend’s house and the other was at his family’s house. Throughout the weekend I would just reminisce on time spent with my family and I wondered what they were doing. Moreover, I really miss my family, but I know being in school and striving hard to become successful fulfills the urge to be around my family because one day we can all be together on my private yacht.

P.S. Thanks for checking in with me and seeing how I’m doing. I hope you enjoy the blog.
Sincerely,
Pretty Winged Eagle~

Getting Started

Hola Again Eagle Amigos,

Just to give you an update about what's been going on in my flying time here, everything has been so far so good. I love my classes and my professors. The homework is a bit much to get used to but, I think i will be ok. I don't believe I told you guys but, I attended an alternative highschool. It was called Humanities Preparatory Academy and it was much different from NCCU.The transformation from such a school to the one I attend today i would have to say is a bit overwhelming at times. The experience so far is worth it; moreover and I am indeed glad to be here.
One of my classes that i have to definitely say stands out to me is my sociology class with Professor Rogers. She is indeed a great teacher and has dragged me into the likings of social groups. To be able to understand a group is quite interesting; learing how they interact and the differences between groups and their connection. I have to say that I am quite fascinated. I have even thought of switching my major over to Sociology from Forensic science and I know you may say in such a short period of time? And my answer is yes. I have pondered it but am not certain. I noticed that to be able to investigate or grasp details of a crime scene you need sociology, so I'm just going to hold tight and see whar else I can actually learn before I switch majors.
This process seems to be coming along well. No drama just yet but I'm pretty sure in due time I will have a barn load of stories to tell. I'm grateful to be attending a school with such morals and significance and hope to enjoy my time here, which i feel i will. Keep looking out for my blogs because I'm going to keep them coming.

The Beginning of my legacy

Hello my fellow eagles,
My name is Dana Peterson and I am 18 years old. I’m from Harlem, New York. I was born November 30, 1990. Yes Sagittarius stand allll the way up! And I would have to say that I am a very family oriented individual.
I have been dating my boyfriend for the past three years and he’s really all I think and talk about. So if you ever meet me that’s just something you may want to know. He actually is the reason why I ever thought to attend NCCU. He gave me information on the school and let me know that it was a pretty good school with many values and great structure but, I had to see for myself.
I attended the eagle orientation in June and absolutely fell in love with the whole environment. I just felt as though NCCU was a great place for me to begin my life as a responsible individual and further my education. I learned some history while here during orientation and singled my acceptances down to one; and that was “dear old N.C.C”.
I have to say that this experience is one of the greatest and I don’t want to be anywhere else. The first week was a little rocky, finding my way around and meeting new friends but it’s all been worth it. I’ll continue to focus and continue to grow and continue to be an Eagle.
Signed,
Pretty Wings~
