Chuckeia Folley Albany State University class of 2010 Girl the best thing to do is listen to your heart. your family will learn to deal with it becasue in the long run your decisions are your decisions. they dont have to deal with the regret of not going or going to an HBCU. i for one cant wait to attend one i get so tired of being so caught up in all the negative examplaes and stereotypes america has on our race it will be nice to go somewhere i can embrace my heritage and my culture. it will be an experience of a lifetime Friday, April 28th 2006 at 2:41PM

Candice Johnson Morris College class of 2005 You are not old, and you did not lose your chance. Everything happens for a reason. If I were to go back in my past and say that I missed my chance with being with this guy I had a crush on, then I would still be depressed. I was blessed to learn that most guys in college are not looking for a relationship to commit to. I had to think of my younger brother who is around their age and acts like them. I'm 22 and aspiring to be a journalist. i am trying to get into graduate school to become better because right now I feel that I do not have the skills to be a good journalist. I saw people in their 30's and 40's switch thier careers to go into journalism. It's never too late. Just keep the faith and keep striving. As long as you have faith and determination, you will succed. Research for programs that will help you become a journalist. Join journalist associations, such as NABJ (national association of black journalists). I wish you success. God Bless. Friday, April 28th 2006 at 2:47PM

clara atwater Clark Atlanta University class of 2011 The best thing to do now is to research and start planning and planning...and planning and work on that plan. You can never be to old to recieve an education my mother is 45 years old going back to college. Just like you my family is weary of me going to an out of state school because am so family orientated but we made a compromise and I will spend my freshman year at one of my family members house and the next year i'll move into the dorms if I want. Basically am saying communicate and compromise because most likely your family still has those worries. Friday, April 28th 2006 at 3:19PM

Siddeeqah Hofler Howard University class of 2009 I cant say i was in the predicament but when i graduated from high school i was only 15 and the only school i wanted to go to was Howard University but my parents thought i was to young to go 300 miles away from home. so i had to stay in new jersey even though i did not want to and go to a county college here and hated it. like you i kindof lost interest but i thought this is the rest of my life and i have to deal with the outcome not my parents or my friends. so what im tryin to say is to follow your heart if you want to be at an hbcu then go. by the way i start Howard University this fall.

Viola Dunn-Thigpen NSCC/Retired at Phila. PA Board of Public Education You can still enroll in an HBCU. The first thing you need to do is investigate the HBCUS that offer the major of your interest, journalism. Enroll as a tranfer student. There are scholarships offered in this field for black women and men and there are writing competitions. You know what you didn't like and it should be a little easier for you since you have a better sense of yourself. I'm a parent. I saw four of my own off to college. I working with young people who wanted to attend college. In most cases I find that parents with good intentions for their children have "dreams" that they want their children to live out. Parents have to realize that their children have their own dreams for their own future. It is not easy for some to let go. As for feeling old at 22; I went to college at 47 years of age and it was a blast. You have the power to get out of your "prdicament". Saturday, April 29th 2006 at 12:07AM
