When asked why I chose WSSU, I responds by saying that WSSU choose me! In undergrad I balanced out my life by participating in many student organizations namely the NAACP, Student International Association (SIA) President, Campus Life Marketing Committee (CLMC) Founder, Vice President & Head Designer/ Graphics, Human Performance & Sport Science (HPSS) Student Advisory Council, Sport Management Major Club member, Club Soccer, and induction into the Ralph Bunche Society where I served as Director of Marketing and Events under the Phelp Stokes Fund.

Hello, I hope that all is well with you. If you get a chance
please visit please visit my profile where I hope I have
given you some words of wisdom, to live by. Also you
might want to visit my website for information on how to
earn some extra money on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Yes, I personally use this system and I promise you that you
will not get rich, but the extra money comes in handy. I also
realize that this type of program may not interest you and
that's okay. If this is the case, share the link with someone
else that might be interested. The economic arena is rough
out here and is likely to get worse. This information just might
be what someone may need to change their financial landscape.
