HEATHER DEAN- EDITOR -IN -CHIEF
I am majoring in fine arts and hope to graduate here in
spring of 2004- God willing, if the creek don’t rise and
with the help of Tamara Grayson that is. I feel that the
newspaper is an integral part of our society- on campus
and off I like to know what’s going on around me in my
community and the world. I love to sit down with a good
bit of journalism and a cup of java to fuel me for the day.
Its my goal to make this paper an open-minded, well-
written, informative and professional bit of literature.
Goal Statement Front The Edi
tor:
“BUT ITS ONLY A CAMPUS
ISSUE!’ you say! There are is
sues facing us everyday- at home,
work and school. We have the
most diverse campus now that
I’ve seen in a long time. There
fore we have a chance now for all
kinds of voices to be heard. All
ages, races, religions and backgrounds. All chances for
us to keep an open mind in life. A chance to understand-
but not necessarily agree- with each other. Negativity,
ignorance, intolerance, and racism break us down physi
cally, mentally and spiritually. YOU WILL NOT FIND
THIS HERE!!!!!! We need balance, harmony, creativ
ity, happiness and knowledge to keep us up and going in
a positive light, (for more in depth info refer to Tamara
Grayson and 10 rules for being human). I hope you en
joy your reading and if you have any questions, com
ments, or info, please refer to the back page for our e-
mail.
My name is Katrah Anjinick Crockett but people call me
Nickey. This is my first year here at Wilkes Community
College. I’m a transfer student hoping to transfer to NC
State. There at NC State I hope to
become a veterinarian. I’ve al
ways wanted to be a vet, even
when I was a tiny little girl. I’m
not originally from Wilkes
County. I moved from Virginia
when I was about twelve years
old. I went to Woodward Middle
School. After middle school I at
tended Wilkes Central High
School. I have a sister that also
goes here at the college. Her name is Badina Crockett.
Her name isn’t as hard to say as mine but it’s definitely
different. College is a whole lot easier when you have
your big sister with you. While here at WCC, I hope to
get an Associates Degree in Science/Biology Education.
I thought being on the Cougar Cry would help me to
voice my opinion on things that go on around campus.
I enjoy writing because it’s a way for me to express
myself As a member of the Cougar Cry newspaper
staff I hope to inform every one of things that are
needed to know in order to make WCC a better place.
GO COUGARS!
My name is Daphine Grayum and I am one of the as
sistant editors for the Cougar Cry. I am presently in my
second year, working toward an
Accounting Degree. I love all
the aspects that go along with
writing and journalism,
being first introduced to it while
in elementary school. I have had
several articles published in the
local paper, the latest one being
about Mr. James Larkin
Pearson. I look forward to being
a part of the Cougar Cry staff and helping to publish a
campus paper that all the students will be proud of!
I am Kimberly Nelson, Desktop Editor. I am majoring
in Office Systems Technology. I will be graduating on
May 15, 2003.1 am a member
of the Phi Theta Kappa club
and I am also their Public Re
lations Secretary. I am look
ing forward to working wath
all of the staff of the Cougar
Cry Newspaper. I hope that
we produce the best paper
ever. I feel that the purpose of
the newspaper is to be infor
mative to all students faculty and staff of WCC. It is
our job to reach all students, no matter the age or back
ground. As many of you know we have a lot of older
students on campus now and I feel that we should try
to reach out to them as well as the younger students. I
hope that we can keep the paper lively and fun. Feel
free to come by and see us and give us feedback on
how we are doing!
“Opportunity”
Opportunities are usually disguised as
hard work, so most people don’t
recognize them.
