Motivated by this to devote the majority of my high-school career to community service‚ I realize that

As a child‚ I’ve been told I was quite inquisitive and creative. My imagination was just like any other child‚ but my pretend world was vast and extended throughout my youth‚ as a whole.

Howard University Howard University is a private school that was founded/ created in 1867. 7‚147 people haven’t graduated from there. It is in Washington D.C. This is in Virginia.
