Breanna Powell, social work
If you could tell your “freshman self” something what would it be and why? If I could tell Freshman Bre anything, it would be to eliminate the idea that everyone has your best interest at heart because they don’t.
If you could have an overall message for an undergraduate student, what would it be? Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. Because at the end of the day, the only person who needs to be satisfied with what you do is YOU.
Please provide any future plans that you have
I will be returning back to NC State in August to begin the Masters of Social Work program.
Kiarra Hicks, sports management
When you arrived to NC State, what were the goals and expectations that you had for yourself?
I wanted to succeed academically, socially, and spiritually. I wanted to allow myself to step out of my comfort zone and try new things
If you could have an overall message for an undergraduate student, what would it be?
Grades are not everything or the only thing. Do not allow the urge to be a perfectionist to make you physically and mentally sick. It’s all about the experiences. Please treasure every single day on campus and don’t allow the stress of college to overpower you.
Marcus Zeigler, textile technology
If you can describe your NC State experience in one word, what would it be?
Complete, because I have done everything I wanted to do and accomplished alot. I feel like I have nothing left to give to the school or the community but laughs and a good time
If you could have an overall message for an undergraduate student, what would it be?
I would say get involved and figure out who you are. Because everyone is not meant to be greek but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference.
Jasmine Cannon, women and gender studies
When you arrived to NC State, what were the goals and expectations that you had for yourself? I honestly just wanted to get acclimated to campus. I had no idea what my potential was.
What is one of your favorite memories at NC State? Pan-Afrikan Week 2015
If you could give the incoming freshmen a piece of advice, what would it be and why? The same advice I would give to my freshman self: Get involved; Meet new people; Learn about yourself; Be brave.
