Kappa Alpha Psi Inc. has played a large part in my life in a short amount of time; this organization has granted me the opportunity to attend college through a scholarship. The scholarship that I was granted was through the alumni chapter in Fayetteville; it required letters of recommendations, a transcript, an application, and an essay on what I believe “Achievement in every field of human endeavor” means. Once I received the call that was telling me to meet the representative to receive a letter

When I think of a Delta woman, I think of a compassionate, community-oriented, and diligent individual. During my childhood, I was not blessed with the opportunity of having a sister. Longing for that “sisterly bond” that Delta women acquire is what ignited my interest towards becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated at a young age. As I got older and evolved more into my dream of being a Mortician, which happens to be in a male dominated field, I want nothing more than to be

People are dancing and supporting their favorite groups as they perform the routines the groups have been practicing for days. The final group performs and walks off stage drained with

Since high school, I have aspired to become a social worker. A series of events in my personal life made it impossible for me to start my scholastic career soon after graduating from high school.
