Friday was an amazing experience for me. Even though I was extremely tired from studying the night before I managed to show up for convocation. I was very proud of myself especially after hearing all the inspirational thoughts of the board at Howard. I learned that UNCF is trying to increase the amount of minorities who attend college and actually graduate. I also learned that, the number of minorities who attend college is fairly low. We ass a community should try to enforce the importance of education on teens. Minorities fought to hard and for too long to just not seek education as their primary goal. All success is from a good education. In addition, he spoke about alumni giving back to their schools to give the economically disadvantaged the privilege to attend school. I learned that HBCU's need to work harder on recruiting minorities to attend their universities so that more minorities could be educated. Lastly, he made a very inspiration point when he said there's people who want things and do what ever to achieve it and then they’re those who just want and don't achieve.
