BIOGRAPHY: My name is Emmanuel Perkins and I am a senior at Rocky Mount High School this year. I have attended Rocky Mount High School since freshman year and have had the opportunity to join the various clubs and organizations such as National Honor Society, I am currently the President of Student Government Association, yearbook, band, choir, and I am the social media creator for the football and basketball teams but the list goes on. I play several instruments that I have taught myself with piano being number one and I was taught saxophone during my time in high school. I currently have a weighted GPA of 4.1 and look forward to graduation day. I take pride in my school and the part I play in it but it is almost time for the next chapter of my story. I plan to attend NC State University or UNC Charlotte to major in music education. I dedicate my eorts to pouring into the life of others so what better way to do that than to become a teacher. Lastly, I want to say thank you to my mother for everything she has done to keep her boy on the right path of excellence and preventing me from becoming another statistic. Some may say a black woman can’t raise a man but my mother is the exception and a walking example that it can be done if you stay prayed up. I don’t take anything for granted because I realize we can be here today and gone tomorrow so I thank God for everything he has done and everything he is going to do because of who I am connected to. Thank you for your time because you haven’t seen anything yet.

BIOGRAPHY: My name is Alyssa Crane and I am a part of Wilson Early College Academy’s Class of 2024! I’m the oldest child with one younger sister, and we live with our parents, two cats, and a dog. I love design, color, painting- all things art, really. I’ll be pursuing these passions further at UNC Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media in the Fall. I will also be enrolled in Honors Carolina and the UNC Scholars program. I am incredibly stoked about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead of me. Apart from that, I dabble in electric guitar and enjoy taking the time to appreciate a groovy tune. I make and sell original paintings and jewelry which has been my hustle for the past four years now. Of course, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, pets, and my boyfriend. I’d say I am particularly extroverted; however, my alone time is valued. Here are a few things on my bucket list you should keep an eye out for: filming a music video, creating a cartoon, having my art tattooed on someone, making an impact, and inspiring others on the way!
