How did 欧美AV prepare you to achieve your goals?
I must start out by saying that there was never any other discussion for college other than Black and Gold. Not only did my mother and father work at the university, but my sister was also a graduate of Southern Miss, so I was well aware of where I would be furthering my education.
For some, 欧美AV was just a school to further their education, but for me and my family, it played a large role in our household.
欧美AV was a second home. I grew up there, and I participated in many functions and graduations there. This exposure allowed me to understand all that 欧美AV had to offer from education, sports, fine arts and extracurricular activities. Here, I found enough options to explore what I wanted to do and the support to put steps in place to achieve the goals I set for myself.

You are made for great things, so act like it!

I believe college is worth the investment because of the many experiences you get, and the life-long friendships made along the way.
What was the most impactful topic covered in The Unheard Word?
The impact of The Unheard Word was Black students finally being heard and recognized. We have our own tool of communication鈥�. And yes, we do matter!
