I'm Coming Home - FAMU 2014 Homecoming



"I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away
I know my kingdom awaits

All the pain of yesterday

And they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming"

I went to my back to a place that I called home for 5 precious years of my life; Tallahassee, FL over the weekend. I went back to celebrate my Alma Mater's: Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University's (FAMU's) 127th homecoming. During my stint in Tallahassee FAMU enriched my life in so many ways. I learned so many valuable life lessons and I can NEVER replace those memories! My walk down memory lane as a proud alumni was awesome. I got to catch up with old friends FAMUly, see the upgrades they've done to campus, and of course I celebrated with good ole' rattler fun. Check out some of the snapshots from the weekend.

Me and roommate!!!
