Iheard somebody say – maybe it was in church, maybe I heard it in a song, I can’t

remember where – but it was about “infinite possibilities.” Basically, the sky’s the

limit. Be all you can be. It’s all the same thing, but “infinite possibilities” – I liked the

sound of that. The possibilities for my future had no bounds. I could take the wheel, and

Norfolk State University gave me the road map – a good one.

let me tell you my story.I’m Brandon Wheeless,

Like us on Facebook

It was never a question if I was going to college.

For as long as I can remember, my folks were like, “Brandon, you’re going tocollege. Brandon, you won’t have a future if you don’t get a degree. Brandon,keep your grades up so you can get into a good school.”

It was hammered into my head so much I just believed it. You hate to admit whenyour folks are telling you the right thing, but in this case, you know, they didn’tlie. So when it came time for me to go to college, the question was, “Where?”

I wanted to be somewhere comfortable, where I would see more folks like mearound campus but still get a different experience. Coming from a family thatalways supported me, I wanted that same vibe, that family atmosphere, butstill wanted the space to just be me. Even though there were people whobelieved in me, I still needed to prove to myself that I could go to school,graduate, and make good choices for myself.

I chose Norfolk State University, and I’m glad I did.

NSU has nine residence halls. Each residence hall is a community that offers its own list of socialand educational activities such as movie and game nights, and contests, as well as information onstudying, improving grades and issues that affect students.

This is such a friendly campus. My professors know my name

so the classroom is a very comfortable learning environment

for me. And as a biology pre-professional major, it’s important

that I interact with my professors on a personal level. My

studies keep me pretty busy and the work can be challenging,

but balancing school work and play is a necessity. Once you

hear “Rock the Green and Gold!” you can’t help but get

excited and join in. School spirit is contagious! I really have

fun going to basketball games and watching and cheering

Brandon on.

worked out well since we have some of the same classes

Not to sound all New Age or anything, but my time at

Norfolk State feels like a real holistic experience. I am here

to get my education, yes. But beyond the classroom and

papers to write and different student activities, I have found

a peaceful campus, a spiritual connection. I can center

myself with my yoga, which I taught to a few friends,

including Brandon who I ran into down at the beach.

Openness from the faculty and a genuine concern about my

well-being and future make being a student at NSU a

rewarding experience on so many levels.

I heard somebody say – maybe it was in church, maybe I heard it in a song,

I can’t remember where – but it was about infinite possibilities. Basically,

the sky’s the limit. Be all you can be. It’s all the same thing, but infinite

possibilities – I liked the sound of that. The possibilities for my future had

no bounds. I could take the wheel, and Norfolk State University gave me the

road map – a good one.

I came on a basketball scholarship and immediately found that family vibe

I was looking for on the team and with the coaches. It was a supportive

situation, with the coaches always on me to stay on top of my game and,

most important, my grades. So in that sense, I felt at home, surrounded by

people who cared that I did well. I would go so far to say that the care and

support from the coaches and teammates were a big reason the NSU

men’s basketball team claimed its first-ever MEAC title and NCAA Division I

tournament championship in 2011-2012. It was the team’s first championship

since joining the MEAC conference in 1997. Yeah, I was proud to be a

Spartan, and the whole community was proud, you know. For real, in the

end, we all just need somebody to give us that push, to help us realize

those infinite possibilities, and I found that at Norfolk State University.Being from a city just outside of Atlanta, I knew Norfolk would be a different

experience for me, much slower than what I was used to. But personally, I

didn’t mind that. There’s a lot to do around Norfolk and the surrounding

cities, so you still get that city feel but it’s more relaxed. Like, there’s the

beach; in fact, Hampton Roads has several beaches. The Oceanfront, for

instance, has a lot of restaurants along the water. Just the way the city has

built up that area is nice. I often go down there with friends to study and

exercise. You run into a lot of NSU students. I met another student who

ended up being a good friend. I recognized her from around campus. She

was doing yoga, looking all peaceful and stretching out in the sand. I knew

nothing about yoga until I met her.

Mentoring

Your professors are one source of

academic help, but we also have

mentoring programs that can help

with your academic, intellectual,

personal and professional growth.

TransferMation Center

If you have taken some college courses or even have your associate

degree, Norfolk State University welcomes transfer students. The

university has a “one-stop” service for transfer students. The NSU

TransferMation Center provides prospective transfer students all the

information and services needed to make a smooth transition to

Norfolk State.

uMusic is second nature for me. There’s breathing and then

there’s music. You think of historic black colleges and music

factors high in there usually, because it has always been

important to the culture in general. Music comes alive with the

Spartan Legion and the Jazz Ensemble, and I play in both.

What we’re able to put out in performance comes from a love

and deep appreciation for music. But there’s also the feeling

that you’re part of a legacy of excellence in the arts and that

you’re, in a way, the keeper of the flame. Music speaks to the

soul of people, going from generation to generation. I am

nurturing my soul in music. I hope somebody out there felt it

each time I blew my horn. Well, I know at least one person who

did. Because Brandon walked up to me one day and told me

he dug my musical styling. That’s how we met.

You have stops right across from campus that’ll take you to MacArthur

After completing it, you can become an officer in the Army or Navy. I

chose the Army. This was another good choice for me, a program that

helped keep me focused. The things I’m getting in ROTC – the manage-

rial skills and just the discipline and the sense of responsibility not only

for myself but for those around me – will help transform me into a leader

for tomorrow. Again, it’s all about preparing yourself for those infinite

possibilities, for whatever’s out there, because it’s not like you always

know. So when the time comes for you to shine, you’ll be ready. Going back to that whole family atmosphere I mentioned, faculty members

were like having aunts and uncles around. My major was sociology with a

concentration on criminal justice, and the professors pushed us but in a

nurturing way. Some were harder than others, which is to be expected,

but it’s all for your betterment, and you felt that right away.
