would pursue journalism as a profession; I wanted to become a radio personality or an architect. After attending a summer journalism program at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism, I was almost certain that I would never work in media, but, after a trip to Washington, D.C. to represent Morehouse College at the Human Rights Campaign’s HBCU Leadership & Career Summit, destiny met preparation. Because of that experience, I now contribute for various publications such as Black Enterprise

Lerone Bennett Jr.’s What Man Manner of Man: A Biography of Martin Luther King Jr. chronicles the great civil rights leader’s life from his birth in Atlanta, Georgia, to his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee. Bennett covers many of the key points of the American civil rights movement as he tells the story of King’s own life. The author does not simply give readers a monotonous series of dates and events, however. Bennett says he took the title What Manner of Man from “a famous Biblical quotation”

Graves hall, which was constructed in 1889, used to be the only building on the campus of Morehouse College during early years of operation. Graves hall used to house all college resources including living resources and classrooms. Today Graves hall is one of many residence halls on campus and is predominantly living quarters, as opposed to the various departments it used to house. Although some things about the hall has changed since 1889, some things remain the same. Graves hall is still producing
that I have always to do. I attended Central Piedmont Community College back in 2011 for about a year, and that did not work out too well because of transportation reasons. My mom and I were sharing her car and she works third shift so that didn’t work being that my classes were in the morning and some at night. So, I stopped going to school for a few years and worked and got a car and finally in January of 2015, I returned to college to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Finance to increase my chances for
The excitement of college completely overwhelmed me when I arrived on the campus of Morehouse College in the fall of 2013. This, however, quickly dissipated as I became more acclimated and more aware of my surroundings. I began to establish, in my point of view, what Morehouse was—essentially establishing what I thought to be my truths. The opinions (or truths) about Morehouse have been expressed in many forms, ranging from Benjamin Elijah Mays’ “Fourteen Points to the Student Body” to the more recent
schools due to my research and experience. The Atlanta University Center has been a part of my life since the age of two. My mother graduated from Morris Brown College and my father graduated from Morehouse College. Additionally, my mother works at Morehouse College in the Psychology Department. So as you can see me wanting to attend Spelman College has been destined from the start. When I finally discovered I wanted to pursue a career in medicine; I searched the top schools for my specific interest in
Henry Newman wrote his essay, “The Idea of a University,” he wanted to convey that a University’s purpose was to be able to educate first-rate members of the social order. Newman’s theory, although over a hundred years old, still applies to today’s college students; many are seeking higher educations to not only lead to successful careers, but to also become an improved person in society. In a time when human endeavor was being redesigned, as industries, philosophies, and sciences were growing and
In other words, they often come out of college with a diploma but are unchanged. Meaning that they do not see the big picture, and come out of college being as ignorant as when they came in. Due to this, people continue to make the same mistakes former generations made, thus society has become more educated intellectually, but not morally. During Martin Luther King’s time at Morehouse, he wrote for the school newspaper, the Maroon Tiger. Two of his most notable
“College doesn’t teach creativity. It doesn’t teach ambition. Such traits are up to you to master, and you alone.”(Kirchoff) All my life I have been told that the only way to be successful is to go to college. Spend tens of thousands of dollars, and after you are $80,000 in debt, start your career and bask in the glory of having a degree. The truth, although difficult to digest, is that college in America is virtually useless. Unless your child wants to pursue a career in the medical, law, or engineering

Senpai, Another Protector in Japan In America, differences of age and status do not affect the relationship between people as they do in Japan. Students can talk to professors in very casual ways. A freshman and a senior in college can be good friends. In Japan, however, when Japanese people get together, their behaviors are influenced by an awareness of the order and rank of each person within the group according to age and social status. Respect to seniors is a social obligation that cannot
College College! Why is it such a big deal to go right in to collage! I understand, however I just don't know what I want to do yet. I know I want to do something that has to do with criminal justice. As in the FBI. I just think that would be so cool. It would make me happy and I'll get paid O.K. My plans were to graduate, then stay with my mom for a year and just work 2 jobs, maybe take a class at U.A.A. So, I can keep with the whole study thing. Oh, and I would go into the Air
Life as a Resident Assistant In her first year as a Resident Assistant, Andrea Robinson received a Christmas card from a resident named Charlotte, thanking her for helping Charlotte adjust to her new life at college. Robinson recalled that Charlotte was overcome with homesickness, as many first time students can be, and to help boost her spirits, she went with Charlotte to an opening week picnic.
