Just a quick update since I haven't posted in a while...
I went to Union this weekend for Scholars Weekend, which was so much fun! Before anyone jumps to conclusions though...I HAVE NOT DECIDED WHERE I AM GOING TO COLLEGE FOR SURE YET. Anyway, I got to meet a bunch of really cool people--Union students and professors as well as high school seniors like me. I got to learn more about what Union is all about and get a feel for what going to school there is like. Also, and most importantly as far as scholarship money goes, I interviewed and participated in small group discussions, which were a little nerve racking, but nonetheless, enjoyable. If you don't know much about Union, let me just tell you that Union is awesome! Their Core Values are: Excellence Driven, Christ Centered, People Focused, Future Directed. If you know me, hopefully you know that these values match up pretty well with my life (or at least what I strive for in my life) and my goals. Union truly does reflect these values. They pursue academic excellence (and excellence in all aspects of life) because all truth comes from God and because God calls us to work at everything we do with all our hearts (Col. 3:23). They seek to integrate faith into every classroom, not just theology, because again all truth is God's truth; the more we understand God's truth, the better we can understand God's character. They provide opportunities to serve people, through actual classes and majors as well as through numerous other avenues. They also focus on preparing students for their future vocation by equipping them with the proper knowledge and skills to carry out that vocation successfully while most importantly making an impact for the Kingdom of God. All of these values intertwine beautifully to create an amazing God-glorifying university. Pray for me as I am seeking God to find if this is where He wants to use me and grow me for the next 4+ years.
And a preview of a post I'm working on...
In AP English, we read Murder in the Cathedral by T.S. Eliot. I won't go into detail right now, but this play brings up some great issues that deal with the Christian faith. One of these issues is motives. If someone chooses to do what is right, but for the wrong reasons, are they still doing right? I have a lot to say about this play, and so I'm working on making the upcoming post concise, which is nearly impossible. Hopefully I can finish soon...
