The legacy of Howard is a rigorous one to keep up with. Many great philosophers have worked hard to build the legacy that we are now blessed to be apart of as the freshman class. As students at Howard University, there are many expectations to be met and accomplishments to be made. To become "the best and the brightest" of Howard University, you must first and foremost set goals for yourself. You have to find out what you want to be and how you want to go about doing so. When I came to Howard, I already had a set goal about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to go about doing so. In college, you have to dodge the distractions and keep your eye on the prize.
To be a citizen of the world does not only mean to live in it. It means that you are playing your part and using yourself and your knowledge to better the world. Doing things like community service and volunteer work and even doing your job, as a doctor or a student, makes you a citizen of the world. The citizenship of this nation includes the freedom of speech, which we as Howard students are known to take advantage of. Just being a part of Howard University inspires me to take advantage of my citizenship.
A representative speaker at Howard University is Dr. Carr. Dr. Carr is an inspirational speaker and uses his knowledge to teach future generations how to do the same. His life work inspires me to take the education that I am recieving as a student in The Mecca and pass it on the future to make the world a better place.
