The speaker today was Mr. Johnson and he elaborated on topics such as having a great work ethic and doing work so much that you forget to stop and rest. Also that if you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then everything will fall into place. This chapel service lasted a while but overall i enjoyed the message he portrayed. He made me realize that success isn’t easily given and God doesn’t just hand out tools and place things in your life for any apparent reason other than to see you succeed. He also stated that he and a business partner were conversing on which kids would be more productive and they came to the conclusion that more kids in other countries such as Africa, Asia, and other ethnicities would produce more good than blacks & whites. Also they stated that you have to get exposure for yourself and broaden your network just in case you may need a bridge to get where you would like to be at the peak of your life.

The Chapel format started with a few speakers and introductions. All Freshman Seminar teachers were acknowledged. Mr.. John Himbrow gave the invocation coming from Colossians 3:12-17. The service proceeded with Aretha Wilson. Soon after a group called "M.A.S.K" graced the stage with their praise dances. My spirits were uplifted. The freshman members of Concert Chorale came onstage to sing "Speak to my Heart". The leader of the chorale discussed how his grandmother had recently passed and the song related to him.
The speaker was Hakeem Lewis. He is the Vice President for Advancement. His job is to get money for the school. The speaker asked us "What would we do if God offered us a divine apology?" He also mentioned that we need to forgive because it is the center of everything we do. I was inspired by the quote Mr.. Lewis mentioned. "Generational curse doesn't exist if generation forgiveness does." It is imperative that we forgive.
