Where I Should Be

Out of all the blogs I have done for freshman seminar, this one has me most excited. there has always been something that I had to write about but this is about MY feelings. I DID NOT like freshman seminar when classes first started. I thought we were going to learn about how to succeed at Howard and how to survive. I felt that we were being taught to hate all white people for years of oppression. I thought this class was a waste of time and I wondered what other schools were learning in their freshman seminars. Over time I began to realize that Howard's history is Africa. Howard is an Mbongi. Howard has taken people of all walks of life and put us in a situation where we have no choice but to grow and learn about each other. I didn't know where i would fit in or if I would even make friends as well as I did when I was home. I was wrong. Wrong about freshman seminar and wrong.Freshman seminar allowed me to open up my mind to Howard. it allowed me to open up my mind to life and the true definition of  humanity.  Howard has so much too offer its students. All the organizations on campus offer us the opportunity to open ourselves up to different kinds of people. Howard University is more than an HBCU; Howard is the breeding ground of greatness. Although I just started, im eager to see the legacy that  I will leave when I walk the stage in four years. It is alright to be yourself when you know your strength and who you are. I AM HOWARD!
