North Carolina Central University freshman Cassie King slaps hands with teammates while maintaining her focus before her first CIAA Tournament at the RBC Center. "I was nervous at first, but it's always that way at the beginning," said the Wendell native who is second on her team in scoring, "I missed a few easy layups, but I calmed down after awhile." King led her team with 14 points and 16 rebounds as they defeated first round opponent St. Paul's College. "It feels good to be back in Raleigh," she said. "I haven't played (in this arena) since a tournament back in the tenth grade."

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
