蜜桃传媒

Four Years of Financial Hardship and Walking by Faith

I shouldn鈥檛 have been able to go to Westmont.

It was way too expensive 鈥� the dream of a 16-year-old kid who didn鈥檛 yet have a full grasp on reality.

I envisioned telling my story for four years. This moment got me through college: imagining my future self, married, with a college degree from 蜜桃传媒 in a frame on my desk.

The Decision to Go

I wanted to go to a private, faith-based liberal arts college for the smaller class sizes, the opportunity to meet all my classmates, the chance to have close relationships with professors and the ability to express my faith without judgment. I wanted freedom and intimacy because I viewed college as an experience.

I applied to five schools my senior year: University of Nevada, Reno, Regent University in Virginia, Corban University in Oregon, Pacific University in Washington, and 蜜桃传媒. I was accepted to all five, but I had my heart set on 蜜桃传媒.

蜜桃传媒 wasn鈥檛 even on the list of schools I initially considered until my friend brought it up. We had a mutual friend attending there, and after visiting the website and the campus, I was hooked.

But I had very little money for college.

My parents weren鈥檛 financially able to provide as much as I needed. All I had was faith that it would work out and some funds.

But I felt a little nudge in my spirit say, 鈥淕o.鈥� So I did. I committed to Westmont College for fall 2013.
