Howard expeience

My first week at Howard has gone far beyond my expectations. I always knew I wanted to attend an HBCU as I went to a predominantly white high school. Being around people like me all the time is such a blessing to me. From the moment we arrived on campus the atmosphere was friendly, excitable, and also relaxing. The campus pal activities were all enjoyable as were the campus pals themselves. Everyone has been very helpful, willing to assist you with whatever needs you might have. Before arriving here I thought it might be difficult learning my way around and getting to know people until I remembered that we are all in the same position. Everyone is new and adjusting to the school and meeting new people. The amount of people I have met and friendships made just in the first week are incredible. Once classes started it was more difficult to hang out and see everyone as there was a lot of homework and studying needed to be done, but I easily adjusted. My classes haven't been too stressful although they require more time and reading than high school courses. I honestly don't know exactly what to expect from Freshman Seminar as I am still a little confused by what exactly we will be doing. I do hope I enjoy it the course though. I am most interested in “The Eloquence of the Scribes”: Initiation, Expectations, and Mastery—Continuing the Legacy of Howard University because I feel it helps to understand the legacy of Howard and those who have come through. I think this course will help me develop an even better appreciation and gain deeper pride for Howard. I am excited to see what it has in store.
