My first semester has been the biggest learning experience. I've learned a lot about time management, motivation, and keeping my priorities straight. When I first came here, I thought I had everything under control and that there wasn't anything outside of general education that I would learn. Consequently, I've learned so much more outside of the classroom than inside the classroom.
Freshman Seminar has taught me the things mentioned above in an interesting way. My first impression of Freshman Seminar was that it would be a crash course in everything Howard. I was wrong. Freshman Seminar focused little on Howard, and more on the concepts of African knowledge and culture as a whole. It required so much more of my attention, and it definitely wasn't a class I could sleep through and blow off.
Along with learning about culture, Freshman Seminar has taught me that I have to put forth effort. It required effort and time management to research and put together an effective presentation. It required prioritizing and motivation to actually get up and go to class in the morning. I learned a lot about just being a good student, and also being a good citizen. The seminars have taught me what is expected of me as a Black student, and what my responsibilities are.
