190 Words1 Page

Attending convocation the week of homecoming is an event I am glad I attended. My thoughts on convocation consist of me being very moved.

I wrote down some quotes that really stood out to me, jotted them down on sticky notes and placed them on my mirror. “If it’s never been done before, that’s okay do it anyway”, “being realistic is a common road to mediocrity”, and “your career is what is you are paying, but your calling is what you are made for”, are the quotes that really encouraged and moved me. Usually there are many students who attend convocation, but for the homecoming

Prior to the mid-1960s, HBCUs were virtually the only institutions open to African Americans due to the vast majority of predominantly white institutions prohibiting qualified African Americans from acceptance during the time of segregation. As such, they are institutional products of an era of discrimination and socially constructed racism against African Americans (Joseph, 2013). Successfully, millions of students have been educated in spite of limited resources, public contempt, accreditation violations, and legislative issues.

    Fellow graduates, look around. Sitting next, in front of, and behind you are friends and classmates that you have gotten to know these past few years. Only four years ago we were sitting in the auditorium all as shy freshmen in our spring uniforms hoping we would make a friend or two that day.
