Abandonment, Dismemberment, and Reawakening: three very particularly different words each having deep meanings. Already amazed by the words chosen I was ready and eager to hear Dr. Dunston’s speech. But from these words she started talking about the genome and Biology. Yes—I am in Dr. Gordon’s Biology 101, BUT I was SO not eager to hear it for TWO HOURS that Wednesday. Although I didn’t want to hear it I decided to give it a shot and listen. The funny thing is the way she was using the idea of the ‘genome’ as a metaphor I actually understood in biology terminology.
Although Dr. Dunston did not go through the entire power point (barely any at all) I went through it before writing this blog post. An idea which hit hard for me what the idea of what our ‘people’ need to do. The power point said we must: “research and OWN knowledge, rebuild communities, repair cities, and reform countries.” The reason this made me so happy is because this is what I want to do with my life. Upon graduating Howard University with a Nursing degree and a minor in Spanish, I want to spend four years of my life in a Spanish speaking country nursing. Ever since going to Costa Rica I fell in LOVE the language. I Also have SO much fun doing community service projects. Her words were the exact lifestyle I would like to enact.
