For Real.

Contemplative thoughts have danced through my mind like the leaves on the sidewalks of North East D.C.

It's all starting to get real.

The mystical people I've read about in undergrad assigned reading 

Iconic schools and national protests 

Movemakers and Contributors.

Campuses 

Colleges 

Universities 

Directors 

Departments 

Statues

These facets are all becoming a part of my life. I am visiting and interacting with iconic beings which have until now, only existed in books, stories, and video tapes.

I've attended LaGuardia Community College and met with Robert Hills.
I have acquaintances whom have attended, work, or teach at Lexington.
I was escorted through Gallaudet by friends who have already attended, and am currently applying for grad school at this near-ethereal institution.




Black printed words on beige and white papers are morphing into tangible verifiable entities.
It's real.
It really is real.
For reals.
And it is a part of me. Soon, I will be a part of it all, too.
