On the negative side we as African
Americans lose federal funding,
and job opportunities, but on a
positive side it makes me more
determine to achieve because I
refuse to let a political party hold
me back.

It would effect me because my
tuition is paid by a federally
funded minority program. It
would pose a severe threat

Financial programs to HBCU’s
would be limited and discourage a
lot of minorites from trying to get
a degree.

I probably wouldn’t be able to get
funds I need for graduate educa
tion, and my sister certainly would
have a harder time paying for
undergrad studies.

It would not only effect me but

views on federal aid.
Senioritis is back
Senioritis — that time of
the year when seniors become
anxious and
uncertain about
the afterlife
(i.e., after
graduation).
That time of
year has arrived
again. Seniors are preparing
for the much anticipated
graduation day.
Although it is an exciting
time, it is also a frightening
time for most. In about a
month, approximately 100
graduating seniors will exit
this safe haven called Bennett
College and enter the uncertain
world of graduate school or the
work force.
In
preparation for
the transition,
seniors have
spent their
spring and
Easter breaks updating resumes,
filling out graduate school
applications and searching
through the classified sections of
the paper for jobs.
This is indeed a stressful
time. Not only are seniors
preparing for graduation,but they
are also having to deal with the
uncertainty of their future. I am a
graduating senior, but I am not as
confused about my direction as
most of my peers.
During my freshman year at
Bennett, I had planned my
future perfectly, or so I thought;
however, things changed with
time and wisdom. I still know
what I would like to do, but I am
more sure about what I don’t
want to do.
During my final days at
Bennett, when walls seem to
close in around me, I close my
eyes and say a prayer to the one
who ah-eady has my future
planned. With his guidance, no
senior will ever be lead astray.
