Today was one of the most memorable days of my adult life.  I returned to my Alma mater to interview the current President.  We visited some local historical places and it gave me a pride I hadn't felt when I was a student.  Coming from an all female HSBC (historically black college) it was great to talk to someone who could identify with some of the same social and cultural issues I identify with.  A deep and profound respect was gained today for freedom.  Having certain freedoms, not having certain freedoms.  it made me look at tomorrow in a whole new light.  I better understand my freedoms and the freedoms that have been gained for myself and my children.  i'm happy to be a part of this institutions incredible past and future.

This trip is opening up a whole side of me i don't visit very often.  I don't expose myself to some of the simplest things that make me who I am.  i had a real and true conversation with a person who i wouldn't normally have had the opportunity to meet or talk to and i am very happy about that.  i look forward for what's next for me and i'm excited to see.
