I had a wonderful education at Germantown Academy, pre-K through 12th! I realized even then that I was experiencing an opportunity of stepping tools that efficiently would make my life easier, looking in one privileged window at a time. Conjugating the world ahead for I was armed with a variety of “windows”.
There was the Black-nod walking down the White hallways. The only… on the school’s team or one of the other… in the classroom. This awareness could only go two ways: gratitude or resentment. You never know until an opportunity such as Life throws you a curve. It was how you responded which spoke volumes of your high school prep resume.
I can tell you that I turned out OK because I realize that every experience in my life is shaping me. I am available for knowledge; I can articulate the variety of Human experience. In the end, I know that I am a Conscious Being having a human experience of multiple abilities extracting from an Infinite.
It was a Black experience, a Human experience. Germantown Academy was another window into the soul of man. Exposure is a gift that keeps on giving. Stagnation, lack of, ignorance, doubt, and fear…. drifts further away as inward knowing answers everything. Germantown Academy had a part in that and therefore I am grateful.
