North Carolina is truly a unique breed in terms of being a state. While North Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies, a new state after the American Revolution, and a state in the antebellum south, it has always been unique in its political footing. From the beginning, North Carolina has tried to become the best version of itself, but as the old adage says, “the more things change the more they stay the same”.

The brothers began experimenting with the concept of flight in Dayton, Ohio at their bicycle shop in the mid-to-late 1890 's, and in 1902, they brought their glider to the continuously windy beach at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina. The glider made over 700 successful flights before adding power. The brothers built their own engine because no car engine could be powerful enough or light enough (Wright Brothers).

The car was ready for our trip to Emerald Isle North Carolina. My brother Will and I argued on who would sit in the “hump” in the car. The “hump” was the tightest, most cramped and the seat that can’t adjust in the middle of the two awesome window seats. Will even tried to get my older brother Danny who was almost 15 to sit in that seat! “I have been sitting in that seat for 13 hours for 14 years! No way Will!” Danny complained. Annoyed, I held my breathe and volunteered to sit in the awful…

Ever since I could remember, I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Although my desired future occupation would change periodically, I always has a reasoning of why I wanted to be that certain occupation. In elementary school, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I was sad about my science class dissecting an owl pellet which contained a mouse skeleton. In junior high school, I wanted to be a lawyer because of the controversial Jena 6 of Louisiana. When I initially became a student of…
