Good Morning to all,
I would like to tell you the miraculous experience I had yesterday. Background goes---I am underemployed and seeking higher education.
So with that thought in mind in 2004 I decided to pursue Howard University and I got accepted into their Spring 2005 program but the problem was I was not mature enough and financially not ready to make this major step in my life. For the past two years I have been readying myself for this voyage that I know is mine as soon as I am ready.
Well, I decided I was finally ready so I applied for admission for Fall 2006. I received a letter in the mail yesterday with my name spelled incorrectly and denied status for my application. But now I am mature enough and have been saving for the past two years to make this move.
The irony of acceptance when I was not ready spiritually or financially and denial when I am ready.
I have created a monument in my mind to Washington DC and Howard University. But what is strange is that I did not flinch or wonder why had I not gotten in this time around. This is my only plan A---there is nothing else I want than to attend graduate school in the Fall.
Well, I tell myself I need to go to the point when this idea originated in my mind (as I have kept a diary for over 10 years)-
Side Bar- The night before I received the rejection letter I attended a lecture with the Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. and the topic was Dillard University--The Revival. He spoke of the good works and great future of this college ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
As I flip through the pages where I decided I wanted to attain admission into a graduate program...this is exactly what I read
"I have decided to pursue Dillard University in Spring 2005. I believe New Orleans is the place for me. I plan to move forward with no reservations to asert my impending independence."
I would like to know how to interpret this or am seeking similar experiences.
