Hello 2019! My name is
Rami Blair, and I have the privilege of serving as Senior Bonner Intern for the
2015 – 2016 academic year. A proud Maine native (even though I was born in Washington, D.C.), I am a rising senior who
majors in French. During my time at Morehouse, I’ve travelled extensively and established
meaningful relationships with faculty, staff, and fellow students. I have received, among other awards, the Beinecke Scholarship, the Oprah Winfrey
International Fellowship, the ESU Luard Morse Scholarship, and the UNCF/Mellon
Mays Fellowship. I am also a member of Phi Beta Kappa and a three-year veteran
of the College’s Forensics Team. My current research examines gender, intimacy,
and sexuality in novels of the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean. Upon
graduation, I intend to earn a PhD and pursue a career as a professor of
literature.
In the spirit of change, I don't have a question for you. Rather, I have a challenge. Read the prompt and think carefully before answering.
Prompt: Identify three substantive, measurable goals that you hope to achieve during your time at Morehouse. Be specific: responses such as "I want to do well in my classes" and "I want to make my family proud" are too vague. (Why not instead try "I hope to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa" or "I want to study abroad for a semester"?)
During my time at Morehouse, three goals that I will achieve is to maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA for all four years, study abroad during the summer, and get an internship at a company such as Google or Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteWhile attending Morehouse I would like to make as big as an impact as I can in the surrounding community through civic engagement and community involvement. Also i will try to the best of my ability to receive no grade less than an A so that I can go to any grad school i want to receive my PHD and become a professor of African American Studies.
ReplyDeleteMy first goal is to continue developing my oratory skills that I have been improving since I was in the 8th Grade. I want to join organizations such as Moot Court and Debate to be able to surround myself with similar goals. I believe oratory is key in becoming a lawyer in the future.
ReplyDeleteMy second goal is to become well involved with the arts. I feel that Art is important to the soul and if it is embraced it can improve anyone's standard of living. Art in all its forms has been very influential in the development of my character traits today.
My third goal is to make sure that I learn to network better with not only the outside world, but my peers as well, which in this case would be my Morehouse Brothers. If I learn how to network, it will open numerous opportunities to diversify my life and experience different types of culture, which is highly important when trying to learn how to understand and navigate the world.
I like to keep things short and sweet, so my three goals to achieve at Morehouse is studying abroad for a semester in London, graduating from Morehouse in the top 10 percentile of my class, and to leave Morehouse with a greater understanding of who I am and whose I am. By acquiring this knowledge it can help me live a life that will help another person in their journey.
