Xander Tzendzalian

Hey, my name is Xander! I was born and raised in Durham and went to Jordan HS before coming to NCSSM Morganton. Some things about me is I have three siblings, two sisters and one brother, and I am the third kid in my family. My older two siblings attend UNC Chapel Hill and my younger sister attends Jordan HS back home, and my older brother actually went to NCSSM Morganton as well. I love dogs, I have two golden retrievers at home. I play basketball, but I also love playing ultimate frisbee. I listen to a lot of pop music and some country music too. I have a couch in my room and love keeping it open to everyone. Thank you!

Bransen Pttman

Hello, my name is Bransen Pittman and I am one of the third south RLA’s! I am from Mitchell county which lies in the Appalachian mountains between Boone and Asheville. Some things you may like to know about me are that I really enjoy traveling, and I also enjoy playing basketball. I have travelled through many parts of the United States and Latin America, such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Columbia, and more. I also play here on the NCSSM basketball team during the winter.  My favorite subject I have been taught here at NCSSM is math, but I also really enjoyed learning physics. I have really enjoyed my time here at NCSSM and I hope to perform well as an RLA.
