No one, not even myself thought I’ll be attending a college in North Carolina. North Carolina A&T is an empowering college that guides young black to student to success. I would enjoy A&T campus because of the variety of students, the family atmosphere, traditional values, and the load of opportunities. I do not believe college…

I am a Brunswick County resident who was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, then raised all over Brunswick County, from Leland to Ash. This is my second year attending Brunswick Community College. My long term educational goal is to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition or Psychology. I haven’t decided which one I enjoy best at the moment. I plan on getting my Bachelor’s degree at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. But first, I am finishing up getting my Associate in Arts degree at…

Why should I be selected as Homecoming Queen? It is funny that you asked. This is a question that I have asked myself since freshman year when I saw my first UNCG Homecoming. How elegant, graceful and astute she appeared. Quite frankly, I could say I should be selected because I want it endearingly, but then again, whom would apply if not because she wanted it, craved it, desired it so lovingly? In the end, I believe I should be selected because I embody everything essence of what the Woman’s…

There are many different reasons as to why this area is lacking the same quality of care that other areas might have. One of the specific problems appears to…

Since coming to college, I have noticed that not all majors have an equal representation of both men and women. North Carolina State University is well known for diversity on campus and their attempts to raise awareness but I often feel that gender is often overlooked when diversity is discussed. Engineering has been and still is a male dominated field of study. Women have often been overlooked and seen as incapable of this type of work but in reality this is not true. Since NC State has a very…

Veterinary medicine has always been a respected profession. Humans carry a love of pets that is shown throughout society. With that comes taking care of their beloved pets, and keeping them in good health. It is easier for veterinarians then ever before, with advances in technology and the development of new medical software, to diagnose and treat animals. There have been many advances in technology that have increased our efficiency in the animal medical field. We see these technological…

Are you allergic to seafood? Anyone who has had a procedure done to them that needed iodinated contrast media has been asked this. Researching for an article has lead me to exam preparation guidelines and radiology manuals that say to ask whether the patient is allergic to seafood along with other allergies and even to go as far as asking if they are allergic to iodine specifically. The reasoning for this is that seafood is high in iodine. The fact of the matter is that iodine is an essential…
