My favorite quote is “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

I have been looking into HBCU's and I really see myself there but I also aspire to go to Brown University. I am overall interested in Law and Political Science so I'd probably pursue Pre Law in college.
