When asked to comment on her professorsā claims, Harris reportedly laughedāa deep, resonant laugh that anyone familiar with her debates has heard countless times. āWell, I may not have been the best student, but I had fun, didnāt I?ā she said with a smile. āBesides, life is about more than grades, isnāt it? Itās about relationships, about connecting with people. And I think I did that pretty well.ā
Harris went on to joke that her professors had always underestimated her. āYou know, they say I didnāt give straight answers, but here I am. Maybe all that dodging and weaving was just practice for politics. Who knew?ā
And there you have itāKamala Harris, the worst student Howard University has ever seen, but somehow, also one of its most successful.
While Harrisās professors may still be scratching their heads over how their worst student ended up in the White House, thereās a lesson here for all of us: Sometimes, in life, itās not about knowing the answers. Itās about looking like you know the answersāand smiling confidently while you do it.
