Tiara Carr - Hampton University Short Course 2007
Click on image to enlarge or download: Tiara Carr"Don't tell God how big your mountains are; tell your mountains how big your God is."
These are words that I live by, as I try to take life one day at a time and realize that no matter what, God is always in my corner.
I am very blessed and very grateful for the experiences of my past that have led to my present and are pushing me toward the future. I thank my mother, father, grandmother, aunt and cousins for being the most powerful sources of inspiration that anyone could ever have. It is because of their love that I continue striving for better and better things in life.
No matter what happens in my life, no matter what road I decide to take, and no matter how hard life gets, I can count on God and my family to always have my back.
I grew up in Baltimore, Md., and am a rising senior at Hampton University in Hampton, Va. I am a broadcast journalism major in the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications, with an emphasis in English and a growing appreciation for print journalism.
I am very appreciative of the skills that the university has given me in my short tenure at Hampton. I've interned at WMAR-TV in Baltimore, the Daily Press in Newport News, Va., and WHOV-FM, the campus radio station. And I am even more grateful for the continued life experiences that will prepare me for whatever is ahead.
