  • When the Aggies Took On the Knights: A Blowout, But Not Without Heart
    No hesitation—JT Smith (#1) took the handoff and made it count for the Aggies!

    “From Bleachers to End Zones: The Most Honest Recap of A&T vs. UCF”

    On September 6, 2025, the North Carolina A&T Aggies took the field against the UCF Knights in a tough road matchup that ended in a decisive 68–6 loss. While the scoreboard didn’t favor A&T, there was still a story worth telling—and moments worth remembering.
    Fans who made the long trip from North Carolina to Orlando tried to stay locked into the game, but with such a lopsided score, many turned their attention to their phones. Some fans were even spotted catching a nap in the bleachers, missing what few highlights A&T managed to scrape together. Still, the Aggies didn’t quit.
    Running back Shimique Blizzard (#9) brought some energy and pride back to the team with a hard-earned touchdown that got the A&T crowd on their feet. That momentum was followed by a perfect extra-point kick from Andrew Brown(#39), who showed poise and precision when the team needed it most. These two plays became the standout moments in an otherwise challenging night.
    The Aggie cheerleaders worked hard to rally the crowd and keep spirits high, even when the action on the field gave them little to celebrate. One photo even captured a cheerleader’s expression of pure frustration—proof that sometimes, the camera tells the truth fans try to hide. Still, their dedication on the sidelines deserves recognition.
    Meanwhile, UCF came out strong and never let up. Their offense was nearly unstoppable, and their defense kept pressure on the Aggies from the first quarter to the last. Off the field, UCF’s cheer squad was a highlight in itself—perfectly choreographed, full of energy, and celebrating each score with impressive stunts and synchronized lifts. One of the most memorable moments came at the end of the game when UCF players physically lifted each other off the ground in celebration, showing the kind of unity that defined their dominant performance.
    Even though it wasn’t A&T’s night, the Aggies showed grit, heart, and flashes of brilliance—and they’ll return stronger. Whether it was the touchdown run, the cheerleaders’ relentless spirit, or the candid moments in the stands, this game had more to it than just the final score.

  • “Snapshots of Honor: Sergeant Jarrell and the Lives He Touched”
    One of this week’s most meaningful moments was my interview with Sergeant James Jarrell, the veteran I chose for my assignment. Sergeant Jarrell served more than 10 years in the 312th Evacuation Hospital with the United States Army Reserves. He is a proud Desert Storm and Vietnam veteran. His military career is uniquely diverse, having also served in the Air Force National Guard and United States Army Reserves.
    Sergeant Jarrell today at 79 years old. He now uses an assistive device to walk, but his spirit remains strong. During our conversation, he shared with a laugh that he once could run three miles in under 13 minutes—but now jokes it takes him 13 minutes to walk just 13 steps. Despite the changes that come with age, he remains a true trooper and embraces his journey with good humor and grace.
    A touching moment during our interview at Green Valley Grill in Greensboro, NC. A fellow patron recognized Sergeant Jarrell from his Army photo and stopped by to speak with him. She shared that her brother had served in Delta Force and, like Sergeant Jarrell, is also 79 years old. She proudly showed him her Delta Force ring, one of the few pieces of insignia that family members are permitted to wear to honor a loved one who served in the unit. Sergeant Jarrell, while never having served in Delta Force himself, was familiar with their legacy. The two exchanged stories shared a smile, and created a memorable moment of mutual respect before parting ways.

  • The second week is fast approaching, but a break is just around the corner. Reflecting on the first week’s assignment, we explored the creative challenge of building a “Video String.” Video String—a visual story told entirely through photos, with no text, narration, or music.  The task? Describe an event or place using only visuals—no words, no background music. It was a fun way to think outside the box and communicate through images alone. Can you guess where I am in my videos? I enjoyed the assignment so much that I created two different Video Strings! This was an amazing project that really pushed my creativity. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

    Guess what Event I attended this weekend?
