Noted authors, Brandon Chambers, is quoted saying, “If you are going to fear anything fear success.

I find fund raising difficult because asking for money, even from my parents, makes me uncomfortable. I would much rather earn the money from yard work, pet sitting, and other odd end jobs to raise the money. That said, I did send out letters to family members and family and family friends because the doubt I had about the $1,200 each member of the group raised. I earned about seven hundred dollars of the money needed and the rest, donated. In my letter, I explained the types of activities I thought we would do (keeping it as vague as possible since I did not know what to expect). After I sent the letters out, my focus remained on the people of New Orleans. The group that planned on going to New Orleans met once a month to help prepare ourselves for what we would experience on the trip. At the meetings we played ice breakers, prayed (galore), talked about what to bring, we watched clips of the aftermath from Hurricane Katrina, and we also had Mr. Cascio come in and inform the group on the history and the importance of New Orleans. Everyone anticipated the trip, even though our flight left hours earlier than anyone wanted. We began our journey from Seattle to Denver from which we flew the rest of the way to New Orleans, Louisiana. The chaperones retrieved the rental cars and then lead us to the church we would stay at. The rest of the

I come from a low-income family with a household of eight people. I have my dad, my six siblings, and my mother passed away a few years ago. As a first-generation college student I felt so many emotions. I came from a high school that didn’t prepare me for college courses and that became a problem. What made it worse was that my dad didn’t go to college, so I couldn’t go to him for help. I was scared, depressed, unprepared, I was doing everything on my own. I also felt like I didn’t belong because I believed I wasn’t as smart as the other students or “rich” enough. When I first arrived at UC Davis, I was immediately intimidated. All of the other students seemed so educated and professional and I just compared myself to them without even getting to know them. Let me tell you, getting here wasn’t easy and I know it wasn’t easy for you either, so feel accomplished. You made it! Now that you’re in UC Davis, you will be expected to work hard. Times may get rough, but just remember that help is out there. Take advantage and don’t be afraid or ashamed to seek help.

There might be a time where people ask you, “why are you in college” or “why to decide to go to college.” People might reply by saying that they want a degree, that they want a higher paying job, or they need that for a future career that they are pursuing. Those responses are the most typical reason of why people go to college. Sure you can say that having a degree means that a person can get a better job with better pay rather than working in the manual labor fields with minimum pay. A college degree is the fundamental stepping stone to the future, it lays the foundation of where to start. College is everything to me; I’m in college so I’m able to unlock more potential in myself, to be able to make my mother proud with everything that she has done and hopefully becoming the first.

Well let's move on a few years into the future. I went to Goddard Elementary School and UPCS High School, which is abbreviated for University Park Campus School. It was then that during my senior year I decided to take a big leap off the wagon, where I made the choice to move down to Pennsylvania for college.

Why I want to attend UNC Wilmington is because college has always been a very prominent milestone in my life.

I never found the perfect college, despite years of searching. A few years ago though, I did find my perfect college. It was UNCW. After stepping onto the campus, I immediately felt like I was at home. It was a second nature to be there, pass the buildings, and walk with the students. I could see myself sitting with a group of friends, studying on a Friday night, or taking part in clubs and activities that I could have never dreamed of. UNCW also grabbed my attention geographically as
