I hate that I feel like I'm constantly in this abusive relationship with my teachers I cannot leave.

My teacher, grading me down 6% on a paper where the assignment was to take three career assessments, evaluate them next to our work history and career paths, and then choose five additional careers to explore that fit in with our assessment results and interests:

While you drew substantiated conclusions from participating in the assessments, you did not identify elect five alternate career options.

Meanwhile, the last paragraph of the Assessments section before the Conclusion:

Taking my results from all three assessments, I’m not sure there are five careers other than the ones I’ve chosen for myself I’d be best suited for. I feel my plan is consistent with the results. If I had to choose, however, I’d lean towards musicians, instrumental listed in Achievement zone 5, which would fall under Artistic in the Interest profile; Civil Engineers, and computer programmers which are under Achievement zone 4 and Investigative; and camera operators television, video, and motion picture under Achievement zone 4, Artistic.

I cannot win. This has happened several times before where in grading she tells me I simply didn't do a key requirement of the assignment, which I did. When I ask her about it, she either ignores it or retorts with some excuse as to why what I have done doesn't really count. Sometimes it's that I didn't read her mind and do my headings the way that she would have. Sometimes it's that I wrote in a paragraph and not a list. Sometimes I wrote in a list and not a paragraph. Sometimes, it's that I technically did it, but it isn't quite what she was expecting (no, she never clarifies what that means). One time she gave me partial credit when I pushed for 3 weeks after she graded me down 20% on one assignment for no reason.

I'm sick of this. I hate this program, I hate these teachers. I need to find a different grad school program because this...... Is abusive. Plain and simple. And I cannot live my life like this for 2 more years.

Kevin Wilson

Physique: Husky Build Height: 6′ 1″

Kevin Reece Wilson (born October 23, 1961) is an American college football coach and former player who is the head coach at the University of Tulsa. He was the offensive coordinator at Ohio State University from 2017 to 2022. Wilson was head coach at Indiana University from 2011 to 2016, and offensive coordinator at the University of Oklahoma from 2002 to 2010.

I have way to many college football games that my dick is forcing my to watch. I’m not complaining though. Because Wilson is worth watching. Handsome, thick dad bod and a gruff voice. Plus, it appears he has a nice set of balls and a decent cock. What? I'm going to look.

A native of Maiden, N.C., Wilson is a 1984 graduate of the University of North Carolina, where he was an offensive lineman and received his bachelor’s (education; 1987) and master’s (physical education) degrees. After three seasons as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Wilson’s full-time coaching career began in 1987 at Winston Salem State and included stops at North Carolina A&T (1988) and Ford (N.C.) High School prior to his tenure at Miami.

Wilson, and his wife, Angela, are the parents of five children: daughters Elaina, Makenzie and Marlee, and sons Trey and Toby. So he falls in my 'loves to fuck' theory. Would love to be coached by him under the sheets.

[lboogie1906]

Dr. Hubert Arthur Eaton (December 2, 1916 - September 4, 1991) was a physician, civil rights activist, and tennis player in North Carolina.

The son of a Winston-Salem physician, he attended Johnson C. Smith University on a tennis scholarship after winning the 1933 national junior championship of the American Tennis Association, the African American counterpart to the United States Tennis Association. He would go on to win the ATA national doubles championship and served as the coach and mentor of Althea Gibson, the first African American Wimbledon champion. He played in the 1954 US Championships, losing his match to top seed Tony Trabert.

He attended the University of Michigan Medical School and established a practice in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he was a distinguished physician and noted civil rights activist, fighting for access to recreational facilities, the desegregation of public schools, and, most notably, the fight for access to public hospital facilities for African American physicians.

In 1956, he was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against a public hospital that, by policy, only granted hospital privileges to white physicians. After he prevailed in court, he remarked “If you don’t know what to do, go to court; that is the only way we know of in Wilmington, North Carolina.” He worked to desegregate patient wards, stating that the African American community “[did not] want the partially integrated hospital where everything will be integrated except patients”.

In 1964, he was charged with murder. A trial was held, but the judge ordered a directed verdict of not guilty because of insufficient evidence before the jury began deliberations. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Rest in Heavenly Peace Shanquella Brenada Robinson

January 9, 1997 - October 29, 2022

Robinson was a graduate of the historically black college Winston-Salem State University. She ran several boutique beauty and children's hair-braiding businesses, under her "Exquisite Kids" and "Exquisite Boutique" brands, in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina.

She was killed October 29th, 2022 at the age of 25 when she embarked on a trip to Mexico with a "friend" and 5 other assailants (3 men and 3 women who accompanied Shanquella).

While on this trip she was violently attacked by at least one of the female entourage (with other videos displaying another separate attack from another female from the same group).

Robinson dies of Severe Spinal Cord Injury and Atlas Luxation 15 minutes after the attack, but the entourage doesn't call for medical help until hours later.

Based on this police report and the investigations of the Mexican authorities, the US State Department initially released a statement reporting that "Mexican authorities said there was no clear evidence Robinson was murdered".

On November 16, the U.S. Department of State responded they were aware of the incident, releasing following statement:

"We are aware of these reports. Protecting the welfare of U.S. citizens overseas is among our top priorities. Out of respect for the privacy of those involved, we have no further comment at this time," the department stated.

The word, Femicide, becomes more popular as the nation would learn that countries like Mexico have harsh punishments for brutal and violent acts against women. However, to this day, not a single arrest has been made.

October 29, 2023 (1 year after Shanquella's death) the Robinson family files a lawsuit and still demands justice and people across the country have demanded that those responsible be held accountable.

"It is very inspiring to release a figure from a piece of stone or wood. Very often, I look at (the) stone or wood for a year or longer. I will have completed the piece mentally before attacking the material."

You, or someone nearby to you, are very likely carrying around a Selma Hortense Burke sculpture in your pocket at this very moment.

Born in 1900 in Mooresville, North Carolina into a family of ten, Burke attended what would eventually be known as Winston-Salem University, where she unleashed her passion for art but decided that nursing was the more practical path to follow, and became an RN in Philadelphia in 1924 at the prestigious St. Agnes School of Nursing. It might be argued that this was correct choice at the time --certainly the career of a nurse provided much greater financial stability during the Great Depression-- but ultimately Selma's interests swung back to art and in 1935 she moved to New York.

It wasn't long before the Harlem Artists' Guild found its new star sculptor and teacher, and in very short order Selma was travelling throughout Europe --not only honing her skills, but also teaching and lecturing. In 1933 she received the Harmon Foundation award, cementing her role as one of the most influential artists of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1940 she secured an M.A. (Fine Arts) from Columbia and founded the Selma Burke School of Sculpture in New York City. During World War II Selma enlisted in the U.S. Navy --one of the very first Black women to do so. While she saw no overseas action, she worked on base at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and it was while there she learned of a New Deal art competition to depict a likeness of then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in celebration of the "four freedoms." Burke worked for two years on a bronze relief portrait, which not only won the competition (and to this day hangs in the Recorder Of Deeds Building), but in 1946 would become the basis for a specific denomination of U.S.-issued currency.

In other words, Burke's artwork is on the U.S. dime.*

Burke's career certainly didn't stop there; in 1968 she founded the Selma Burke Art Center in Pittsburgh, which continued her mission of introducing art opportunities to disadvantaged inner-city youth. Amongst her many subjects have included likenesses of Duke Ellington, Mary McLeod Bethune (Lesson #49 in this series), and A. Philip Randolph (Lesson #68). Her work is on display at the Smithsonian, in Charlotte (significantly a nine-foot statue of Martin Luther King, which she completed in her eighties), at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art in Atlanta, and at her beloved Winston-Salem State University. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter presented Burke with a lifetime achievement award from the Women's Caucus for Art. She died in 1995 at the impressive age of 95.

* - No, it wasn't John Sinnock --even the U.S. Mint now acknowledges this plagiarism. Credit-stealing was and is still a thing, with Black artists.

[maculategiraffe]

just saw your answer to the last ask! which part of NC are you from? i was thinking of applying to a job in durham which is why i'm asking

I'm in the Triad, as opposed to the Triangle, which is what Durham is part of. the Triad is Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem; the Triangle is Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. the Triangle is pretty great, maybe a tad bit more scholarly and hipstery and bikeable than the Triad. my sister lived there for a year or so after graduation and there were very good restaurants. lots of good universities too. and indie bookstores and music venues and art galleries. but again this is the only state where I've ever lived so I might be biased!

photos by:  JODIE BRIM CREATIVE While every stage of a woman’s life brings new joys and challenges, each phase is immensely personal. As women, we know nothing soothes the mind and soul like an open, honest relationship with your healthcare provider, and that’s a truth Hawthorne Obstetrics & Gynecology has lived by since its inception.  Generations of Winston-Salem women have trusted their expertise and welcoming family atmosphere, along with their commitment to the highest quality personalized care. Hawthorne providers may very well be currently delivering babies for mothers they also delivered – the amazing circle of life!   Founder Dr. Richard E. Hedrick, Jr. began this journey at his solo practice in 1983, focusing on obstetrics and gynecology, gradually adding board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurses, sonographers and support staff through the years. You’ll find state-of-the-art technology but always with a comforting touch.   Dr. Kerri R. Scherer, who has been treating patients here since 2003, was drawn to the field when she realized the impact she could have on women during key life moments.   “This is a very privileged job,” explains Dr. Scherer. “It’s such a blessing to be present with women during their happiest times – such as pregnancy and labor – but also during difficult times such as miscarriages and cancer diagnoses. I love that I’m able to follow my patients throughout various stages of their lives.”   Hawthorne OBGYN sees you through family planning, gynecological care, diagnostics and treatments, and performs several in-office surgeries for your convenience, so you can get the care you need and be back to doing what you love. Providers balance thoroughly treating patients with maintaining a comforting atmosphere – and that keeps families coming back, generation after generation. They also serve the community at both North Carolina Baptist Hospital and Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center. Meet the Heart of Hawthorne OBGYN Anthony L. Masciello, MD, FACOG Originally from Tampa, FL, Anthony L. Masciello joined the team in 1994, after graduating summa cum laude from Mercer University and receiving his medical degree in 1985 from the University of South Florida. He completed his residency at the University of Florida Health Science Center Jacksonville in 1989, then served in the National Health Service Corps, providing care for disadvantaged patients in Fort Myers, FL. He has served as Division Director at Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospital. An avid runner, Dr. Masciello dedicates time to volunteering with Hands of Hope NC, a local mission group providing care in the Dominican Republic. He enjoys time with his wife, Gena, and their adult children and is proud his son and daughter have also chosen to care for others as physicians.  Kerri R. Scherer, MD, FACOG Born while her father was in the military in Stuttgart, Germany, Kerri R. Scherer moved several times before coming to North Carolina in 1990 to attend Duke University.
