Just Saying Hello
May 13th, 2008 by Morris
Hello all, my name is Morris Johnson and I am a first year student here at Goucher. I’m from the Baltimore area, actually I went to high school, Loyola Blakefield, less than a mile from here. I am extremely involved in student life here at Goucher. Last semester I was a class representative for student governement association and before winter break I ran and won the the position of finance chair which is a vice presidential role in the student government association. I am a member of Umoja ,the black student union here on campus, as well as a member of the Lindy Hop swing dance club (don’t laugh).
To be honest, I think I’m so involved here on campus because there isn’t much else to do. Between studying, working, and friends, the only other attraction is the Gopher Hole, which, at least when I go, never has the ice cream I want. This doesn’t mean much because I’m extremely picky. I actually take that back, there are things to do but, most times, they don’t cater to my interests.
Anyway, to sum this little introduction up, I would say that this first year here at Goucher has been a year of opportunity. I, as a freshman, have been able to get involved here on campus in a big way. The classes I’ve taken thus far are interesting, (outside of poli-sci ) and engaging. I look forward to next semester. Talk to you all soon.
