A Charge to Us...

During Dr. G’s lecture this past week he touched on acknowledgement of the human condition, the value of education, and the advancement of knowledge. Dr. G expressed that the human condition contains enduring problems and is in need of advancement and renewal. He taught us that the main fields of study are imperative to this renewal and advancement of people, and more specifically, students. Linked with this is also the value of education and learning. Dr. G expressed throughout the lecture that education is what is key to the aforementioned advancement and acknowledgement of the human condition. One must not take their opportunity to learn and grow for granted, for not many have the chance to do so in an institution such as Howard. He lastly speaks on the advancement of said knowledge. Dr. G allowed me to see that through great philosophers of the past, the people of today are charged with growing in our knowledge and abilities. Learning does not stop in the class room, and we should be conscious of what goes on around us in our everyday lives in order to advance ourselves.

I see myself taking my education and experiences here at Howard more seriously after listening to both Dr. Carr and Dr. G’s lectures. They both stressed the state of the world today and therefore the importance of us as students. I appreciate the hope, trust, and faith these professors are putting in us as the future leaders of society. It has helped me to work on being a better person and student.
