Why Howard ?

I'll be the first to admit that Howard University was not my first choice in schools. I did not know what to expect but after experiencing freshman week and the first week of classes, I now know that I could not have made a wiser decision. In high school, I could always count the number of black students in the honors classes on one hand. During these past two weeks, not only have I met so many intelligent black students, I have met so many different types of black people. I appreciate the fact that we are all one body but still unique individuals. The Freshman Seminar course will help me to gain an appreciation for Howard University by knowing the who's and the why's behind the Mecca. My expectations for Howard have not been made because life at HU has surpassed my expectations! After two weeks that have felt like so much longer, I have come to love my school! Naps have been my best friend during this last week and I can see the importance in time management. It is so easy to get sidetracked and distracted but I'm learning how to buckle down. I can not wait to see what freshman year has in store for me. HU-YOU KNOW !
