In the Fall of 2017, I will be attending the United States Naval Academy on a football scholarship. I chose to attend the academy not only to fulfill my dream of being a division one football player but to also support my family as I continue to get older.

I am writing this story about former Knight and current Jacksonville Jaguar, Yannick Ngakoue because he is where I hope to be one day. In about three to four years, I hope to be an NFL football star. Becoming an NFL football player has been a career I've been pursuing since I was a little boy.

Attending Friendship Collegiate in my senior year has been stressful. Since the beginning of the year, I have been overwhelmed with work and deadlines. No one would imagine how heavy my workload is because I’m not the person who complains. I would just get my work done.

Imagine yourself sitting at home and all of a sudden your head feels like it’s about to explode. You feel so much pressure and then you feel nauseous. Light and sound bother you to the point where you have to sit in the dark and turn off the TV or your phone. Your first thought would be “I’m having a headache,” but this is something more than an average headache. This is a migraine.

From April 17 - April 19, 2017, three reporters from Tech Prep and two reporters from Collegiate had the chance to take a trip to New Haven, CT over spring break. We were able to tour Yale University’s famous Beinecke Library to view the Harlem Renaissance exhibit. We toured the entire Yale campus along with the engineering school. We stayed at the Friendship News Network director Ms. Kaufman’s house in Hamden, CT which is about 20 minutes from New Haven.

Rogues Rebellion, the graphic novel I read was amazing. It’s a DC comic. It is about a group of criminals called the Rogues: Captain Cold, Heatwave, Mirror Master, Golden Glider, Weather Wizard, and Trickster. They’re trying to save their city from the “Crime Syndicate” (the evil earth-tree counterpart of the Justice League) but also trying not to get found.

In America, today fear, anger, and gun culture have mixed into a dangerous combination. This has led to the rise of more militia groups in the U.S who claim they want to “defend the homeland” from terrorists. These militias are mainly made up of former veterans from both Vietnam and Afghanistan, as well as civilian recruits who feel betrayed by the government. Recruits cite issues like the Flint Water Crisis as a reason that they feel the government doesn’t work.

I`m a young boxer who loves the sport of boxing. My current record is 13 wins, 3 losses 0 draws and 1 KO. I box on the Untouchables Boxing Team in Marlow Heights Maryland. We are “unattached” which means that we don't have our own gym so we go to other gyms to work out but we mainly box at Keystone boxing gym.

The Cry Baby album follows the story of Cry Baby, a fictional version of a younger Melanie Martinez. The songs in the album reflect experiences in Cry Baby’s life. Songs such as “Alphabet Boy” and “Carousel” are some strong examples.

I utterly love HBCUs and what they stand for: the unity of black people. They show that young black scholars from different backgrounds can succeed and break stereotypes. They also provide a space for black people to fight for civil rights, equality, and black liberation.
