It was Ni my senior year in high school, and I came to visit this school simply to satisfy a curiosity. For a Floridian, it's hard to imagine oneself in a setting where the sun doesn't shine from October to May! I had left 80° weather and had a craving for ice cream; Ohio wasexperiencing its first snowfall of the year,and I got strange stares as I ordered my double dip ice cream cone and are it outside — the first bad sign. Also, I had driven all night to get here,stayed in Williams that first night (it was still a dorm), and a junior who shall remain nameless kept me up till three in the morning relaying his philosophy of life — second bad sign. One more sign and I knew it would be "Goodbye, Cedarville." I thank the Lord that all that changed the next day. The sun did eventually shine; the campus was simply beautiful. The concept that really gripped me while on campus was that these people were really involved in their college. That Friday, I knew that the Lord really wanted me at Cedorvil College for the next four years. In some respects, mine has been the typical collec experience. I'm convinced that I've received the best ed cation available anywhere: in the classroom, but mo importantly, out of the classroom. We all go throuc change. For a majority of the time, due to my involvemer my painful growing up has been before the eyes of rr peers. That brings with it an added dimension of pressu that the "typical" student may not experience; however wouldn't change a thing. Through those peers I've learn the most important lesson of my life; God is not so cc cerned with what happens to us as He is with how v respond to it. Thank you to my friends who have loved rr shored with me, and built into my life while at the "VillE You will forever be cherished. Psalm 27:4 162 Seniors
