This freshman seminar was particularly interesting, especially because I am Yoruba. It was interesting to me because I learned some things about Nigerian culture that I was perviously ignorant to. It was cool to have some one from my own culture come in to present. The concept that he spoke of in his lecture made me think my role in school and in life are. Omoluabi, a person who uses his or her knowledge for the good of others with a lack of concern of the personal sacrifices that it entails. I aspire to be that person, to do things with the knowledge that I gained here at Howard. It is a concept that encompasses the way knowledge should utilized, and what we should be doing here at Howard. It carries a message made for everybody in the pursuit of knowledge and acquisition of the elusive wisdom. It was the most integral part of the lecture for me. I also am interested in the research question, the advancement and transformation of knowledge, and the processes of such an undertaking. It seems as though in our society it is as common as a discarded penny, information evolves, changes, and is perpetuated everyday wether its wrong or right. I am interested in this question because it makes me think of all the ways I advance and transform information.
