ok. for me. february is a big month. hence. the title. it may be the second month of the year but it marks the first month of change from our yesteryear counterpart.
yes there are those who do not change. lil things stoppin. and like the year before they loaf all year on things that they wish they'd do. or the things that they wish they had/ accomplished. but more importantly people are still dreaming BIG for their plans for the F U T U R E .
this time next year is 2010. it can't get any more futuristic than that. and you for damn sure don't wanna be the same goon that you were yesterday. which brings me to my REAL topic. the student government elections.
i have offered my help to any candidate that needs it because i've watched people win and lose over and over again. and like clockwork. you can see it before it happens. all school elections are predictable in that way. however there is a equation to it. there are qualities that the candidates must meet and as a pr major. what more fun could i have in my free time than to help people prepare.
honestly, the candidates that i have seen thus far beginning their campaign have been running for mr and ms morgan state university. what a lovely and yet superficial title. you aren't truley given power, just the illusion of it by being granted a powerful image that may or may not (more than likely may not) influence your fellow morganites to follow in your footsteps.
personally, i am interested to see what becomes of mr. morgan. because all of the candidates seem to have a weak link in their equation. it doesn't seem to be an all around candidate prepared to take the position. but perhaps i'll be proven wrong. what i'm looking for is the candidate that is willing to lead student life to the right direction. ke'shawn did a decent job but it wasn't so much on campus life that livened up.
without mentioning any names here's a rundown of our potentials. one of the candidates is a great example of what a scholar should be, he cares about his future as well as the campus, but he knows nothing about his fellow classmates, and rarely is found at social events not sponsered by the student government. another candidate is wonderful at being social, in fact overly social. to the point when many have referred to it as him being fake. but he may not be the perfect example or representation for the university, can he turn it on for the campaign? and another candidate is fairly social, real, but he too may not be what morgan state students call a grand representation. can any of these candidates really help aleviate the issues plaguing morganites? like...
what happened to campus cookouts, or events in the student center (please something other than another damned movie night, i could watch a movie in my room), greeks in para on the yard, bring the benches and the plots back, what happened to HBCU campus life??
lets just see how this goes morgan state. after all the big things will pop and the lil things will stop. lls.
