The Eloquence of the Scribes

This week's presentation, led by Dr. Thornton, was about self-actualization and recognizing our past in order to effectively plan for our future. He elaborated on how history repeats itself, and that in order to be successful in the future we have to strive for excellence.

Here at Howard University, we have an excellent staff, full of top-rate professors. The game plan is drawn out for us, we just have to create our own lane and work hard to achieve the goals that we set for ourselves. Being that we are already climbing the ladder of success by attending a university, we owe it to those that came before us, and those to come after us to succeed in our endeavors. As African-American students, it is important to give back to our community.

I feel that if I had to choose a profound representative thinker of Howard University, I would pick Dr. Carr. Dr. Carr is not only an a profound professor, but an excellent motivator. He has the ability to make a 50 minute class feel like 15 minutes. Aside from being a great professor inside of the classroom, Dr. Carr also participates in numerous community service activities and organizations. He has inspired so many Howard University students with his teachings, and I am honored to have listened to him speak. My wish is that I can be an influential member of our society, so that I can give back to my school and my community.
