Self Reflection

Whoa, what a journey. These weeks passed by so fast I didn’t even realize how close we were to the end. As we bring Freshman Seminar to a close I reflect back on the day we first started, thinking that I would only learn a few things, not really thinking that this one credit hour class would do me much justice. Boy was I wrong.

            Freshman Seminar is a great opportunity to learn things you never even thought about. It was so fulfilling and so insightful and I enjoyed oh so much. Freshman Seminar has changed my views on a lot of things; it helped me to grow more into the heritage of my African ancestors. It boggled my mind left me wanting more, left me in awe over the things that I always longed to know.

            Through the presenters I was feed the life of the many glorious people who came before me I was intrigued and impressed. I have always been proud of my race and the people who sacrificed themselves to make sure I had a better life, and this class just gave me a deeper pride of the African Diaspora.

            I came to Howard University to learn more about just not my ancestors, but about my self and over the past weeks I have learned more than I ever would have at any other university. I take pride in myself and my culture, I love myself and those who paved the way for me to be here today. I am growing more and more everyday and I am glad that I was given the chance to take pride in my heritage. Freshman seminar was a great experience for me, but now it’s the end of the semester which means it’s time to go home NEW ORLEANS HERE I COME.

                                                                            Thank you for everything,
