Woodsonās Black History… Continue reading I Am Black Everyday!!!

First Semester Chronicles: Utilize Your Resources
Over the summer, Michai and I agreed that he would take on more responsibility with his education and I wouldnāt be on the Aggie Access portal as much.

What A Time To Be Aliveā¦Part 4

What A Time To Be Aliveā¦Part 3
After learning I was pregnant the same night I graduated from undergrad in 2003, I knew I wasnāt going to be able to work 12-hour shifts as a nurse since that meant I was either going to miss my baby waking up or putting them to bed and I didnāt want to miss either.

āAre Our Schools Better?ā
āThat storyās still being writtenā, is the answer Mr. Wayne Ledbetter gave the attendees at yesterdayās opening of the āRooted In Raceā Exhibit.
