Though this week wasn’t my first
Howard homecoming, it was my first one as a true Howard student. While I knew
how influential Howard has been on many significant figures in our society, it
did not hit me until this week when I got to see how many important people
graduated from Howard. Even people who didn’t graduate from Howard, like Diddy,
come back year after year just because they are proud to have some sort of
affiliation with the school. Until this week, I have never been prouder to be
part of such a large and loving community, such as this one.
It was great to have my parents
come down and I loved being able to experience my first Howard homecoming with
my sister, who is a graduating senior. Being able to share this experience with
my family and my friends’ families was amazing. I feel as though homecoming is
the true orientation, the real welcoming that says, “you are finally at Howard
University”. I feel lucky to have experienced this homecoming because it makes
me feel as though I really belong in the Howard community now. I can’t wait to
experience the different events in the next three years here as a Howard Bison.
