African American studies will give me a more diverse knowledge of the history and culture of African Americans. I am very eager and excited to learn how far African Americans have come in our society. When I become a nurse, I will be able to relate to patients and co-workers who share this culture. I am hoping to learn more about the history and events that African Americans endured in life. I am also very excited to hear more about historical African American figures that were left out in my high school text books. I took an African Art class and was able to learn about the different cultures in Africa, so I am excited to see if African Americans share some or all of the same values.
