2016 Miracle Yearbook

A my time at Cedarville draws to a close, many tran ition are occuring in my life. I'm getting married, I have a new job, and I'm moving to a new town. As all of the a pects of my life are changing, a constant thought that I have is, "What is it that I love about where I am now, and how can I manage to get that in my new circum tance?" For example, I love my job that I have had for 2 years ...but why? At the end of the day, it's not making coffee that I love about my job as a bari ta. It's not the money that makes me love it. There is one a pect that remains ...and that is what I'm learning about. People. That is the one aspect. People change everything. It' not all about where you live, how much you make, or the status you've achieved. It's about the people that are around you. Even when I've been faced with difficult, bad situations, it was the people that were around me that improved my circumstances. o as I move from Cedarville, get married, and start a new job, I want to think more about the people I choose to be around more than the place I urround myself with. o I encour– age you to consider who it i in your life that makes the places you're in worth being in. Surround yourself with people who will encourage you and want to be a positive influence in your life. Don't just let them pour into you. Pour into them. Take care of people, and they'll take care of you. benjamin.
