end self reflection charles harris

When I first saw that I was going to be required to take freshmen seminar. I thought to myself this must be some type of class where students learn how to be on there own and excel in college. A step by step guide on how to succeed sense most of us were new to college. I quickly learned that is not what it was and that it served a better purpose. For my the class serve as a black history type of class which I never had while I was in school. I learned about more African and African American history in a few week in that class than I did all of high school. I heard very educated people speak about the things they do in there careers opening up possible career choices for students in the class and we had a new guest speaker each week. Some were giving the chance to go for new york city for the first time ever. We went there to see the African burial ground which was mind blowing. This is another artifact that I did not know existed. Learned the story from the African burial ground buried the myth that most ppl still believe which is there were never slaves in the south just the north.  Things like this is what made the class so special and such a need for all students to take I think. I would truly not be as knowledgeable on my own history if I did not take these classes.
