The one thing that I brag about the most about Howard is our school spirit. A majority of the divine nine fraternity and sororities were founded here so we are truly original in our greek life presentation. Also, when i converse to my friends back home, I always tell them about the unique role that Howard plays in DC community. We are not located around the corner from the White House. We are right in the heart of the city, learning the culture and giving back.

When my friends ask me about my University, I brag about the diversity that most people believe HBCU?s lack. Attending such a nationally renowned university, a student is privileged to interact with an abundance of cultures. Each area of the country talks, interacts, and lives a different way. Although society and the media may bunch us together as one group, Howard University allows Black people to respect the differences in one another. This is something that friends at other schools may not understand, because they are brainwashed by the thoughts that all Black people are the same.

I brag about my ability to navigate the "red tape" treatment that many students on financial aid recieve when they attend Howard. I really do love Washington, DC, however. The residents that live near our campus are beautiful people. I met this homeless man who told me to appreciate my time. He really changed my life and shed light on the fact that I was taking advantage of my education.
