Speaking about his achievement, Curtis Lawrence said he feels he was prepared for rigorous academic journey. “I feel like I was prepared for the academics because Walls is a very rigorous high school, it’s the top high school in D.C., so a lot of the work that we did reflected the work that I’ll be doing here in college,” he told a newspaper.

He explained that after getting scholarship and admission offers from 14 universities, he decided to choose George Washington University because he wanted to feel the HBCU experience.

“Then I started looking specifically at HBCUs because I wanted the HBCU experience and to be surrounded by the people who are just like me and who are not only Black but academically talented,” he said.

He thanked and acknowledged his mother’s effort to help him succeed. “I never really thought I was advanced until I got here to D.C. My mom just always pushed education, pushed advanced academics and especially being at the elementary school in Harlem, I was surrounded by other people who were advanced, so it just felt like the norm for me,” he narrated.

Speaking on his experience in the university, he narrated that his professor once asked him what he was doing in class. “In my university writing class, my professor asked me if I was a visitor or if I was someone’s younger brother.” he said.

“Most of the people that I sit at tables with. They ask me how old am I and how am I here — so I tell them everything,” he added.
