Why are you in college?

Many of us in college are in search of something. It could be knowledge, wisdom, who we really are, a soul mate, to get rich, etc. Whatever you are looking for remember you must continue to learn and any educated person knows that. Drexel will help you learn everything there is to know about engineering but won't help you learn who you are, what you like, or what you believe. You must learn these things on your own. Throughout the search just don't forget where you came from and try to help "the brotha man and the other man".
