Family Weekend 2009!

This weekend, September 18th-20th, was our 1st family weekend of the Fall 2009 year! Even though my family wasn't able to attend (sadface), I had a wonderful time! It was kicked off Friday with events such as bowling and movie night, recreational activities in the Walker Complex, and lets not forget the "infamous Fish Fridays!"

Awaken to the aroma of fried fish and chicken, turkey legs, and fresh pineapples, Saturday morning was our pre-game tailgating! As the stands filled with screaming students, alumnis, parents, and staff, the game begin! We had a good game and even went in to overtime, but the scoring of a field goal by Morehead left us in a lost, 13-10. =[ After the game, our Legacy Talent Show was held, eveybody did a wondeful job and we even had SAB (Student's Actvities Board) raffling off gifts and prizes!

The Hill Harper Lyceum was a must see! Open to the public and free admission, it was no reason for you to have missed it. In his inspirational ceremony, he spoke of several topics to motivate youth in the right direction. The subject about "THRIVE" sparked my interest the most; he explained how "surviving" was "low bar" and in life, you must do more than survive you must thrive!!

Wrapping up, Family Weekend 2009, turned out to be a great success!! Join us Saturday, as we take on Duke University!! NCC-Uuuuuuu!!

until next time,
