Where To Start? Oh Yeah, Move-In!

August 12, 2009 was the beginning of a frenzied day. Not only was it muggy and my hair began to sweat, but it began to drizzle! My intentions to look cute were ruined. I mean what’s the point in getting your hair done if it’s going to get rained on? The ladies know exactly where I’m coming from. Some of us are serious about our hair, lol. Overall, moving was a rather out of the ordinary experience. There were times when my mom, brother and I would be debating about who would carry what and what to put where. Regardless of our disagreements, I was grateful they were there to help me carry all of my things.

Salutations..

..Eagles! If you’re curious to know, my name is Ashley Alston and I’m from Zebulon, North Carolina. I graduated from Bunn High School in Bunn, NC June 18, 2009! It was such an exhilarating ceremony, being able to share the experience with my family, friends and walking across the stage to receive my diploma. Can you say awesome? :D

Anyway my decision to attend North Carolina Central was a spiritual one, because my aspiration since middle school was to enroll at NC State University. Unfortunately, when I didn’t receive acceptance, I was perplexed on where I wanted to continue my education. Approximately a couple weeks later, I gained admissions to Central! Filled with delight; I ran told my mom, everyone I knew and thanked God for answering my prayers.

Some hobbies of mine are reading, hanging out with my family and friends and just having a good time. Back at home I drive an 86 Chevrolet Truck (Custom Deluxe, above top right), I love pickles, adore meeting new people, and my passion is roller-skating.

I have the cutest thirteen year old brother named Royce, my mom is the star in my galaxy, and Jesus Christ is my Savior. Now that you know a small fraction about me, let me fill you in on all the juicy details about my experiences thus far.
