What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
The real experience did not start until i came back that following August. Freshman week was bestowed upon Langston.
It was the first time i felt like an adult i was able to travel on my own, hang out with my friends while still receiving my education. Freshman week made me who i later became as a freshman as Freshman class president.
When i saw all those upper class-men representing our school and teaching us what it was to be a Langston Lion i knew i wanted to lead my class because i had orange and blue running through my veins.
