One thing that took a big reality check was my
college choice growing up! When you are
young, you do not think about the important stuff like tuition, boarding fees,
location, degrees offered, etc.; all I knew was that University of North
Carolina (UNC) was my only choice and I
was ready to be a part of Tar Heel Nation. As time went by, I started to learn
things about colleges and myself. First
off, I learned that science & math where my niches and I wanted to make sure
my career path followed suit. Another
thing, I found out about was “Out of State Fees” lol. That alone help me realized that home is
where the heart is kmsl. However, it was not until I saw “A Different World”
that my love for our culture took over. I have always loved my Historically
Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU’s) though; my family is deep in
Grambling and I have always loved the band at Southern University! As the years passed, my choice was made
clear: Jaguar Nation was the one for me. One thing that movies, television
shows, and childhood did not show was that college is hard work lol. I only paid attention to the parties,
football games, & probates. No one ever
mentioned that classes, projects, and learning was involved lol. I do not hate it here, but it is not my
favorite either lol.

Yessss, A Different World was a catalyst for so many people wanting to go to HBCU. Loved that show and Love my HBCU... Xavier University. The best experience ever!!!! Great topic Trell!
ReplyDeleteThanks ma'am! Yeah, that show was the bomb but apparently I never paid attention to the class scenes lol.
DeleteOut of state fees were definitely a reality check lol. HBCUs create an experience of family away from home. I love my GramFam๐ฏ❤️
ReplyDeleteThey quickly narrowed my selection lol. Yeah, that HBCU experience is something special!
DeleteYes!! A Different World definitely played a major role in my love for HBCUs. Plus my mom attended SU so it was a must that I follow in her footsteps. Be decision I ever made. Ain’t nothing like the Human Jukebox and HBCU experience. ๐๐
