BCCC Awards
Can you believe it? I'm on the Dean's List at Baltimore City Community College. The college and an awards banquet for those on the dean's list and other students being honored.Except for the band being much too loud, the event was really good. It might be a black thing to have a loud band at these events. This is not a part of my culture. It was impossible to hold conversation. I did not expect this to be a dinner-dance.
I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was very good. A classmate of mine, Thao, happened to enter right after I did and her family gave me a ride to the bus. The walk between the nearest bus and Martin's West is at least 15 minutes and it is not good to be doing this in the dark. Her husband and son are fantastic people. I was really impressed, but not surprised, by them.
At Texas Southern University and BCCC, my GPA is roughly 3.5 out of 4.0. At Merrimack College where I hold my B.A. degree and at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary where I hold my MDiv. degree, I have a total of two As in seven years and my GPA is roughly 2.5 out of 4.0.
I'm very grateful to BCCC because I'm getting additional education to help me to give back to the community. I'm also very grateful to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center because of the pastoral education that I am receiving from them.
I recently finished the Allied Human Services [social work] program at BCCC and now I am working on computer networking. I hope to be able to set up a computer network at home and at church and for small non-profit organizations.
