WSSU, I thank you

This has been a long yet fulfilling jour­ney through my college career. I had many ups and many downs, but I can always count on my experiences to be life lessons.

Having a good sup­port system while in college is vital.

There were times when I felt like I wanted to give up, but I kept going.

Without the people that I have in my life, it would have been a much greater struggle.

I would first like to thank God for blessing me with so many great opportu­nities and for watching over me.

I couldn't have gotten through it with­out him.

Not matter what I chose to do in life my parents are behind me. They always want me to have all of the opportunities that they didn't have.

Thanks to my mom for always being by my side from day one and for being my cheerleader. Thanks to my dad for mak­ing sure I had everything I needed and making sure I never went without. I hope to continue to make you proud.

Much of my appreciation goes to my best friend Jocelyn Boyd who reminds me all the time that I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to.

Words can't express how grateful I am to have Issiah Norton in my corner. Through all the good and bad, you let me know that I will always have your sup­port. For that, I thank you.

The professors of the Mass Communications Department have taught me a lot not only about journalism, but also life and the real world.

Dr. Jeter and Dr. Cobb alone have taught me the very important lesson: "Don't wait for something, Go get it."

Thank you to all of The News Argus staffers that I have worked with. We have accomplished so many great things and I am proud to say that I did it with you guys.

I wish all the best for the future staff members and that they use working on the paper as much needed experience. It is a lot of hard work that goes into the Argus, but it will pay off.

There are moments where people would stop me to give me compliments on a story that I had written.

Those are the moments that are the most rewarding.

Winston-Salem State will always have a special place in my heart. I hope to one day be able to give back to the Mass Communications Department and con­tinue to see The News Argus succeed.

I can truly say I am proud to be a Ram.
