UHHH GUESS WHO’S GOING TO NCAT!!!

Hello family and friends!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be attending North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University this upcoming spring semester to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

This opportunity is the result of years of persistence, discipline, and belief in myself—even when the path wasn’t always clear. As excited as I am, stepping into this next chapter comes with real financial challenges, and I know I cannot do this without the support of the people I love. Between housing deposits, tuition-related fees, books, technology, and travel for an out-of-state move, the costs add up quickly.

I’ve set a goal of $10,000 to help cover these transition expenses and give me a stable start as I enter university. Any contribution, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to this goal. Prayers mean just as much, so I invite you to show support in any capacity you can.

My goal isn’t simply to earn a degree or secure employment—I want to be a living example of what’s possible through perseverance, faith, and community.

With God, my village, and your support, I know this next chapter is possible. Thank you for believing in me and being part of my journey.

P.S. I would love to read your messages; your words mean more than you know.
