Louisburg College

I graduated from Ayden-Grifton High School in June 1997. In August 1997, I began attending Louisburg College. I just recently found out that Louisburg could lose its acredidation around May. They cant seem to raise the money they need to survive. I know alot of alumni from Louisburg and now I feel like I should make it my personal mission to save the college that means so much to me. I tell people that I was prouder of my education at Louisburg, than I was at UNCG. I feel like I learned so much more. I grew as a person while I was there. When I graduated in May of 2000, that was the moment in my life that I knew I would be ok. I could never have been more happy. My family was so proud of me, and they were all there. My mom and dad, my Aunt Dottie, my cousin Karen, my Grandfather, John his ex wife and their son. I remember my mom telling me that if I didnt want to go to college after Louisburg I didnt have too. I had gotten into Barton College in Wilson (probably should have gone there), but chose UNCG instead. Thought I would save my mom and dad some money by going to UNCG. I enjoyed my time at UNCG, dont get me wrong. I just want to see Louisburg survive and make other students as successful and to feel as good as I did when I graduated.
