I believe that my Howard experience was an invaluable asset to my education. Eventhough registration can prove to be an arduous task, skills learned by necessity prepeared me for dealing with the many inconsistencies that the real world offers on a daily basis. Many times people misunderstand the Howard experience for being limited, since it is a predominately black institution. However, most students find that the diversity of our campus opems a new perspective to them on teh vast diversity within the African-American and African Diasporic (Caribbean, European, African, etc) Communities. Just as anywhere else, we have many people who distingusih themsleves based on ideologies, political and religous beliefs, social constructs, and anything else one may find on a college campus in a major metropolitan city. I think waht sets Howard apart, however, is an understanding that the student is truly a part of a family; a family that has its ups and downs. Anyone who has ever coem here would be hard pressed to say that they never knew anyone who did nottry to help thep ecxel in some way shape or form. Whether that person lie in Mrs. Mcleod in Blackburn center, Ms. Clara Smith in the cafeteria, or Dean King in residence life, there are many people who will go the extra mile to see you succeed. I love Howard, and homecomming festivities are ALWAYS the best!
