It is the first day of school. Kennedi Dean steps foot onto the famous Howard Yard, ready to start her sophomore year. The same drive that made her choose Howard, the same drive that made her choose biology as her major still runs through her. When asked what motivates her, Kennedi answers “I just want to graduate. Simple. I have an innate want to succeed.”
Kennedi, who received a scholarship to Howard University, the historically black university in Washington, D.C., describes her first impression of Howard University as a community filled with well-rounded black people, a notion that many others share with her. She also shared her favorite Howard memory: her first week on Howard’s campus when she first heard and sang the words to the Black National Anthem, “lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,” in unison with hundreds of other Howard University students and staff all while holding up her fist.
Although Kennedi’s first impression of Howard University is heart- warming. Her first impression of Washington D. C. altogether is very different. Kennedi, who shares a home with notable figures like: Justin Timberlake, Elvis Presley, and Morgan Freeman: …show more content…

Kennedi plans to become a pediatrician one day, “I want to work with kids. If I am going to be a doctor, then I have to be a pediatrician.” If it is not obvious enough by her decision to choose a career dedicated to helping children, Kennedi is a very caring person. She states, “I am very passionate about being able to help people. It is what drives me to want to become a doctor.” Kennedi is no stranger to the health profession because her mother is a health administrator, which is a career field that Kennedi says she might one day explore, “I am open to anything in the medical field. I like the science aspect of health but I also like the business side to

  • Kennewick Man Research Paper

    402 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was originally theorized that the earliest settlers of North American were young adults and their families migrating from Asia, who crossed over Beringia, a land southwest of Alaska, and migrated to North America twelve thousand years ago in search of wooly mammoths to feed and clothe their families. However, current beliefs dictate that the earliest settlers may have come to North America well before the suggested twelve thousand years ago and were not from Asia but Europe. The discovery of a 9,000-year-old skeleton, dubbed the Kennewick man, sparked controversy after reconstruction tests revealed that he bared a resemblance to a European rather than a Paleo-Indian hunter. This was quite significant discovery considering that Europeans were not thought to inhabit the Americas to a much later date.

    Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States founded primarily for the education of African Americans. 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.

This film touched my soul because it revealed the concerns of young, black males at predominately white institutions. Although the students encountered similar problems as students at historically black colleges, their struggles differed due to the fact that racism was one of the greatest obstacles during their college experience. In addition to the discrimination and the racial undertones in the academic institution in which the males attended, the youths had to learn how to balance their internal conflicts as well. One of the greatest conflicts that continue to affect the African American
