1. What can and will you do to be a part of the "best and brightest" of Howard?
To be the “best and the brightest” I must make my studies come before my social life. In college it’s so easy to get distracted but if you’re dedicated and want to be successful you’ll do what’s needed to pass. To be the best I must go beyond what I’m learning in the classroom and apply it to my everyday life. In addition, I am going to use what I learn to help those around me.
2. What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? How does your citizenship in the nation inform your world citizenry?
To be a citizen of the world means that it’s my responsibility to make this world better. As a citizen you must help others make the world better also. Your citizenship in the nation informs your world citizenry by allowing you to help change occur in the world around you.
3. Identify a representative thinker of Howard. How does that figure's life work inspire you to "till and turn over the soil" which, as Dr Thornton noted, is expected of each Howard student.
A representative thinker of Howard University would be Alaine Locke. He was an American writer,philosopher, educator, and patron of the arts. He is best known for his writings on and about the Harlem Renaissance . Locke promoted African American artists, writers, and musicians, encouraging them to look to Africa as an inspiration for their works. He encouraged them to depict African and African American subjects, and to draw on their history for subject material. He inspires me to always strive for better for my community and myself. In addition, to become a leader for my community and encourage them to gain knowledge and change the world for the better.
