Our own Monique Johnson was featured on CBS Evening News, Assignment America

If you watched "Assignment America" on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric on August 31, you viewed a story about a remarkable young woman.

Assignment America's Steve Hartman came on campus to interview Monique Johnson, a junior majoring in Business Administration here at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The report shared information about a fund-raiser that Monique has organized to to raise money to continue paying for her education and a full-time aide.

Monique was born with dyastrophic dysplasia dwarfism - a physical disorder which hinders her ability to walk. She uses a specialized scooter for mobility. Against all odds, Johnson honed her talent as an artist and has been selling her artwork throughout the community to help raise money to pay for an aide who must assist her daily while she lives on campus.

Monique's courage, faith and determination have inspired many people. Do you have some thoughts you would like to share with her? If you like, you may use the space below to send her a personal greeting through our website.

We wish Monique the best as she continues her education. Aggie Pride!
