Our latest class assignment required us to use green screen! Personally I was excited because I know how fascinating green screens actually are. I chose to do A Different World for my green screen project because it's a show that I love and it inspired me to attend an HBCU. Above is my final project featuring two of my amazing classmates!
On February 26, 2016 Hilary Clinton visited the campus of South Carolina State University to persuade students to cast their vote for her on Saturday February 27. The “Breaking Down Barriers” rally was held at 3:45pm in Dukes Gymnasium. Doors opened at 3:15pm and the Orangeburg community quickly filled the gym.

Hilary Clinton had familiar faces such as Starr Jones, Karen Civil, K. Michelle and Congressman Jim Clyburn speak on her policies and her as an individual before she entered the stage. “44 boys is enough, it’s time for madam president” said Starr Jones. As Congressman Jim Clyburn gave his speech he reminded the audience of what she has done for the United States without having the role as President “No one has run for president with such an extensive résumé.”

Majority of students entered the rally undecided, however after hearing her policies some decision were made that very moment. “Personally I felt like she did a wonderful job getting her point across, it didn’t feel like it was rehearsed it was very personal. I came here undecided but now I’m leaning more toward Hilary. She made great talking points that I can relate to especially health care and trying to get out of school without debt.” London Knight Senior. (Congressmen Jim Clyburn)
The Breaking Down Barriers Rally had a very good turn out, students were star struck when given the opportunity to get selfies with Hilary Clinton and K Michelle. Hilary Clinton is now preparing for her campaign trail for Super Tuesday.
She sat in class chatting with her friends as her conversation echoed across the room. Wearing a grey SC State crewneck and a khaki SC State hat Jaylaan seemed very alert and prepared to start her day. The 20-year-old Charleston native is a 2013 graduate of Goose Creek High school were she participated in the ROTC program.
Despite the early morning workout calls her love and dedication for ROTC earned her a scholarship from the Bulldog Battalion, where she is now ranked as a MS3. "Being involved with them was challenging at first because it's my first real taste of the Army life, its a whole lifestyle change. It's kinda hard balancing Army life and college life at the same time but you get use to it after a while."
Not only is she a member of The Bulldog Battalion, Jaylaan is apart of the South Carolina State University Student Government Association Student Senate. They tackle issues in the constitution and eliminate any loopholes. Every home basketball game you can expect to see Jaylaan on the floor at the basketball game keeping the crowd entertained at halftime and timeout opportunity.
Balancing ROTC, SGA, and hosting basketball game seems like a to carry but she seems to be handling it flawlessly. Upon graduation in May 2017, Jaylaan plans to continue the army lifestyle. Once she graduates she will be commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. She plans to enter the signal corp which is the technical side of the army. Her end goal is to own her own radio station.
