Either they are successful high school students that have never posted anything lower than a 3.0 GPA or transfer students that have cruised easily through community college.

    I remember finding out that NC State had a summer reading book and thinking that it sounded a lot like a high school English class. I dreaded even picking up the book, so i kept making excuses and putting off reading it. August rolled around, and move-in day was quickly approaching, so I decided to take my dog to the beach one evening and read until the sun went down.

With every flip of a page I felt like there was an underlying message that was meant for me.
