I currently attend an HBCU, Clark Atlanta University, sadly I have to take a semester off. I didn’t choose the correct school, I chose a school that I thought would be fun. I wanted to be just as great as the Alum that I have met at these illustrious institutions. I actually attended Howard Upward I couldn’t wait to graduate so that I could attend an HBCU. I wanted to Win scholarship pageants, Be a band dancer, pledge AKA. But I chose the wrong school, I am too artsy, hippy and rebellious to do any of those things, I can’t even dance. I was suppose to chose a school that matched my knowledge, skills, ability, not to mention my overall dream. Laboratory Institute of Merchandising, Fashion Institute of Technology, Fashion Institute of design and Merchandising Now these are the artsy schools I have attended. I can’t blame a soul it was due to my fear of not making it and the native teenager that wanted to have fun. Even though I’ve made lifetime friends and seen some amazing things during my matriculation, I feel like I’m super behind because I didn’t go hard with my dreams while attending the wrong school.
Howard University featured in Life Magazine circa 1946.
Ive ALWAYS wanted to go to Howard. Wouldve loved to have been on campus back then.
Enjoy.
