Howard University

MARY J BLIGE THOUGHT GETTING AN EDUCATION WAS A SNAP

Mary J Blige was a high school drop out, but recently a New York high school showed respect for her accomplishments by presenting her with an honorary high school diploma. Mary was flattered and immediately announced that she would be attending Howard University this fall in pursuit of a bachelors degree. Apparently she naively thinks that getting an education is simple and uncomplicated when you’re a celebrity! No cramming for tests or worry about grades is necessary. When the news was checked out with Howard University, school officials were embarrassed to admit that she had NOT been accepted as a student and in fact had not even applied for admission. Details! Details! Somehow we doubt that an “honorary high school diploma” would be enough to get into ANY college. Being a celebrity DOES open a lot of doors – does that include doors to a university?
