NSU pt. 3 of 3 The Finale

Norfolk State University is a place that has allowed me to ask so many questions. Dealing with a group of students looked at as a minority I see so much diversity. The way each of us think, our backgrounds, our language all differ and has allowed me to grow. It has allowed me to see the good things and the faults of people. I have always looked at this university as a sample of the world from the professors, the students, and even the cafeteria workers all are a sample of whats outside these borders. This school has show me how easily people can be manipulated and enjoy being comfortable in complacency. It's not the students often times it's the institution that lags behind popular culture. In the end I hope we as a university don't lose our culture and our traditions that allowed as to be great with less in the past. I hope we continue to be a true HBCU that allows black students to be educated on our culture and the world thats ahead of us. Be understanding and BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!

Is it all about the check?

Money does not mean a lot to me! Well, not really especially when I have some or I know I'm about to get it. For now I'm can be content with $20 a day but one day I will have resposibilities and that same $20 will be a joke. No matter what i would like to believe money would then matter when it's not all about me. The question is what am I willing to do to get this money. If I was asked to mockery a mockery of myself to sustain a lifestyle then what? Whatever it is I just want it to be worth more than the dollar that I receive when the task is done. I would like to enjoy my job and not have to sell myself to something I don't care about or believe in. Some look as it as making a living or they say "I'm just doing what I gotta do". I just hope that when I do get the "check" it's doing something I want to do.
