Dr. Tritobia Benjamin spoke to us and I found her hard to follow but she spoke to us about the elegance of the scribes from Ancient Egypt. The scribes were part of the upper echilon of society and received the most education. Their job was one of the most important because they taught people about the past and without knowing about your past you cant march forward and create a better world. She talked about that we are the continuation of African scribes in the modern era. That we walk in the footsteps of greats not just at Howard university but we walk in the footsteps of great people. When she was talking about this it made me realize how high the expectations for us are, that because we walk in their footsteps we a glorious legacy to uphold, not only do we have to honor the legacy of the greats we have to live up to the legacy and expectations of this great institution. Because we are lucky enough to have this opportunity we have a greater responsibility then most t change the world in which we live.It made me think about how far we have come because of these people and I have to try harder then them because surely they were given the same choice and if they had been content to stand on the achievements of the past we would not have made it to where we are today.
