Future Pharaohs

Dr.Gbadegesin's lecture allowed me to take into consideration how lucky i am to be in college. Knowledge and education are truly important if you want to be successful. although success may mean different things to different people, i view success as life without struggle.one main point of Dr.Gbadegesin's lecture was the importance of education and wisdom. if educate yourself, nobody can ever lead you down the wrong path because you have armed your self with the most important weapon;knowledge. Another point of the lecture was Dr.Gbadegesin's words on miseducation. since i have been at Howard, i have realized that when you think for yourself and you have your on ideas you open your self up to new opportunities. although it was apart of a poem, the line from A Yoruba Poem,"cosmetic beauty may fade" is a very powerful statement which leads to my third point. in today's society. outer beauty seems to overshadow the personality, mind, and intelligence of an individual. Long hair, light skin tone, and slim body equate perfection. After hearing Dr.Gbadegesin's lecture, i realized that yo can be robbed of your looks, but not of your mind. when looks fade and the body falls by the wayside, your mind will still be young and firm.
