HOW DID U END UP AT YOUR CURRENT SCHOOL?

QUESTION. HOW DID U END UP AT UR CURRENT SCHOOL... DID U ALWAYS WANT TO GO THERE OR WAS IT BY CIRCUMSTANCES... ME BEFORE LAST JANUARY... I NEVER EVER CONSIDERED AN HBCU... AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED. I WAS GOING TO BE A UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI FOOTBALL PLAYER AND GO TO SCHOOL THERE. EITHER THERE OR POTENTIALLY CLEMSON. I HAD COMMITTED TO USM BEFORE THAT. WELL SH!T FELL APART AND THE COACH WHO RECRUITED ME GOT FIRED... IT WAS EITHER DELTA STATE.. A FEW POTENTIAL MORE SMALL PWC'S OR A JUNIOR COLLEGE... WELL A FEW WEEKS LATER JACKSON STATE CALLED AND OFFERED ME A FULL SCHOLARSHIP.... MY DAD WENT TO JACKSON STATE SO I LOOKED INTO EM.. TOOK A RECRUIT TRIP AND IT WAS OK. MISSISSIPPI STATE CALLED LIKE A WEEK BEFORE SIGNING DAY WAS LIKE WHY DON'T YOU WAIT ONE WEEK AFTER SIGNING DAY AND IF WE DO NOT SIGN THIS OTHER PLAYER, WE ARE GOING TO SIGN YOU. I WAS LIKE THAT IS TOO RISKY.. BECAUSE IF I WAIT AND THEY DON;T SIGN ME.. I AM STUCK LIKE CHUCK.... SO I WENT AHEAD AND SIGNED WITH JSU... (I STILL WISH I WAS AT UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISS)... I LIKE DIVERSITY..

i was at the point where i ain't no where to go... i wanted to go to Drexel in Philly to be close to my Philly fam, or the University of Kansas, easier for me to go back to home..... but i knew my parents were gonna be in Charlotte, so i applied to a few schools and also a few schools to see if i get in... I got accepted to FAMU and i was primed and ready to go there... then UNC offered me a scholarship...but i was still waiting on A&T... FAMU was off the chain, but A&T just had that magic and history to me... made me want to learn a lil more about it... the bullet holes in Scott during the Civil Rights Movement, the G-boro Four who launched the sit-in movement in downtown Greensboro... i turned down that scholarshiip to UNC, and i got my acceptance letter to T... wouldn't trade it for anything... 8) :arrow:

hmmmm, how the hell did I end up at Paine? Like some of yall said. I was going to go to a PWI. I was thinking bout U Tenn, Clemson, or Auburn. I really wanted to go to Tenn. Then the next year I realized I wanted to go to a HBCU cuz of band and the surroundings so I knew I was going to Morris Brown. THEN, Mo B got in trouble and I refused to go to Clark (their rivals). During my senior year I was picking all kinda schools: Tuskegee, Morgan, Howard, NCAT, FAM, Bethune, etc.... I didn't have my head on straight. Then senior year a lot of coaches from GA wanted me so I was choosing between Fort Valley and Albany. I chose Fort Valley, track coach was a b!tch, chose Paine.

you run track for paine? you know this dude named DeAnthony?

yeah, I know that lil creaton

I actually didn't apply to North Carolina A&T until July of the year that I got here. I was originally going to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I already had my room, my phone number, my mailing address, I had a letter from my peer advisor, my roomate, wrote me a letter, and I was in the student directory. I went out of the country for the summer and my parents had an application waiting for me when I returned. The next day it was handed to the chancellor and signed. A week later I had a full ride. Since UNC was giving me no money at all, my decision was made for me, and I ended up transferring before I ever took a class... :roll:
