An African-American With A Desire To Inspire.
As you can see from the title of this post, I was back in the good ol’ town of Lenoir, NC this past week. Unlike last time though, spring break isn’t starting…instead, I’m starting my Gastrointestinal block tomorrow. Le sigh. It’s okay though, this is the last block to get through before Thanksgiving break! And […]
Read MoreGuess who’s all caught up with his lectures? THIS GUY. *points to self* Guess who has an exam in five days? THIS GUY. *points to self again* Guess who’s totally not ready for it?

Read MoreTell me why I went into this weekend TEN lectures behind in material. TEN LECTURES BEHIND. The sad part is, I was actively trying to keep up all last week.

(And I’m not even counting the other longitudinal classes we had to attend…) How are we supposed to manage all that in a little […]
Read MoreYOOOO wanna hear something wild?? I’m turning 23 tomorrow!! TWENTY-THREE!!! How crazy is that? I’m lowkey trippin’ about it…23 just sounds like a huge jump in age/maturity from 22, in my opinion. Like from 18-21, I just felt like a college kid overall even though I was technically an adult.

Read MoreMy summer vacation is officially over. I’m sitting here back in Winston-Salem wondering how fast time can fly by as I prepare myself to start my second year tomorrow. My summer vacation was very relaxing, thrilling and rewarding to say the least. I enjoyed every minute of it. As a matter of fact, my summer break was […]
Read MoreWell… Week 2 of summer vacation has been just as relaxing as Week 1 was. I could get used to this. 😎 My week back home in VA was comforting, to say the least. I spent a good amount of time with my siblings, who were all ready to play some Monopoly as soon as I […]

I gotta say, I’m absolutely loving my time off from school so far. It feels good to be back home in the 757 with friends and family after having to make a pit stop (more like a week-long stop) in Miami to attend two orientations for the program I’m working with this summer. I also […]
