What has everybody done to get them where they need to be (their #1 hbcu or other school) Well I just tried really hard to stay focused this year. I made sure I took a full and rigorous course load (chuck full of AP classes). I ran for a whole grip of officer positions (NAACP prez, Class prez, NHS prez,). I started networking like crazy since the begining of like ...my tenth grade year! I know better than that...at Hampton it can be about WHO you know not neccesarily WHAT you know.

I basically just buckled down this year and got on the grind. I slipped up my 10th grade year because I was moving around a lot and was out of school for a lil over a month, so I really had to work my **** off 11th and 12th grade years. It paid off tho...I'll graduate(in exactly a week) with a 3.4...not bad. Could've done a lot better, but I opted to finish early and take what I had. This summer I plan to work, read, write, and study to prepare myself for the upcoming semester at my dream school(Jackson State)...I'm just so excited! I've been wantin' to go there since forever(about 6 years old), wait, that didn't have nothing to do with this subject...my bad! Ummm, yeah...
