PICNIC x FOOTBALL x FRATERNITY SIGMA LAMBDA BETA

March 9th, 2010 | By All Day

This weekend was an awesome experience, it was Sigma Lambda Beta’s annual picnic/football game with our brothers from Kappa Alpha Chapter (University of Arizona, in Tucson Arizona) Vs. Chi Beta Chapter (Arizona State University, in Tempe Arizona). We began our day by hosting a cook out at Papago Park, next to the Phoenix Zoo. We had delicious Hamburgers and Hot Dogs along with all sorts of chips and salads. Further down the day, we moved to another location where we played football. Of course, I was feeling a bit tired, so I took a nap while in the second quarter of the game. Unfortunately, our chapter lost on overtime, but overall, I had a great time…. p/s can you spot me out in our group photo?

DORAN EVENT x SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

March 1st, 2010 | By All Day

This past weekend on Saturday, my scholarship donor, Mr. and Mrs. Doran, took our entire cohort on a special event “Dress for Success” at Saks Fifth Avenue located at the Biltmore Mall in Phoenix. It was here where we had the privileged to get a tour of the store before it opens and get a behind the scene look of how it is run. We where also given tips and lectures of how to dress for success in the business world. Great advise was learned from this event, it was definitely a great event to attend. Thank you Saks. After the event, our cohort was invited for a luncheon over at California Pizza, courtesy of the Dorans. Shout out to the Dorans who make all of this possible, thank you.

ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY x SUMMER BRIDGE

February 21st, 2010 | By All Day

Summer Bridge… Let me just tell you, this is an excellent program that I, without a doubt, recommend to anyone who meets the qualifications. Raidz and I attended Summer Bridge in 2007 right after completing high school at Maryvale. From my personal experience, Summer Bridge really sets up that kick and understanding of what the college life is really like. I can definitely say I had an awesome experience.. If you are eligible to attend this program, I recommend you do so. The cost is minimum and the gain is huge.

Summer Bridge assists first-semester freshmen in making a successful transition from high school to college. Through Summer Bridge, students become acclimated to campus life at ASU, gain access to student support programs and services, and learn effective academic skills.

Summer Bridge students can earn up to 7 academic credits during a five-week summer session, where smaller class sizes, tutoring, and structured study sessions help contribute to their success. Living on campus, students build a sense of community and develop a network of peers. Students also benefit from their interactions with faculty, tutors, peer mentors, residential staff, and program staff.

Summer Bridge 2010 will take place July 5-August 6, 2010. Eligible students planning to attend any ASU campus may apply. Please review eligibility requirements before submitting an application.

TODAY IS CLASS

February 11th, 2010 | By All Day

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY x FAS 332

February 9th, 2010 | By All Day

Our Human Sexuality Professor allowed us to pair up in partners and create a 3-D model of either a vulva or penis for extra credit. This class is definitely interesting, one learns so much. What I am enjoying most out of this class is being educated on proper terms and functions of the body.

HOMEWORK x STUDYING x MUSIC X FAMILY

February 3rd, 2010 | By All Day

Hello everyone! Good Morning! It feels so long since I have posted anything on here, when in reality it has only been one day! But moreover, I have been extremely occupied with my studying. There is one class I am taking which very time consuming in regards of the reading material request, but of course, your boy A_D always has everything under control. My passion is music, but I have to settle in my priority first. Education is the key! Enough with my two cents motivation. I have some hooks and verses recorded. By the way, my family is still here at my apartment. I feel super excited and good inside. I had miss them sooooo much, if I had not expressed thoroughly. I really hope they can stay…

THEY ARE FINALLY BACK

January 30th, 2010 | By All Day

Excited to state, my family is back in town once again! For those who do not know, my family moved to Mexico about seven months ago because they were in a struggle financially. However, now after such a long time, they are finally back and are speaking of staying here in Arizona once again. Wow, I am super excited! I had missed them soooooooo much! Here are a couple of photos I took Friday with one of my brothers, John. I did not go out, rather I decided to stay home and spend time with them. P/S That is my pet Snuggles in the other photo (cannot have real animals in the apartments I live in).

The Area Drift Club

January 29th, 2010 | By Raidz

Today has been a great day so far, has not it? If you day is feeling a little blue, throw on some Muevete from the Music section. The night will be even better, why you may ask.

Simply because of a special event going on at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona this evening, Drift & Drag. Best bet is to arrive early due to rush-hour traffic, but the event starts at 6:00 PM and lasts until midnight.

The AREA will also be there in full force, only a few of us will be drifting though. I brought my camera so we can record some videos and post them up later on.

I will be there in a silver S13 coupe, so if you see me come holla at me. If you have a helmet, i will give you a ride along (just ask)!

Do not know where Firebird Raceway is? Do not fret! Raidz has you covered.

You will take the I10 south (Coming from Phoenix), and take exit 162 Wildhorse Pass, make a right, then the next left.

It will not be in the main entrance, there is a side entrance if you are going to be drifting. To spectate it will set you back $10. To drift $40, to drag is $30. To both, drag & drift it will be $50.

AREA REPRESENT!

WAYLAND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

January 28th, 2010 | By All Day

What fantastic news I received in the mail today! Last academic semester I was hunting the Internet for possible scholarships and/or grants to assist in funding my higher education at Arizona State University. After a couple of months and having applied for numerous scholarships, I finally received a letter in the mail from the Wayland Educational Foundation Scholarship! Great news! I am the recipient of their scholarship!
