The faculty, staff, and students genuinely care
When first touring, I was struck by how many students, staff, and faculty came up and introduced themselves to me and my parents. They all seemed to care genuinely about who I was and what I was interested in. This was confirmed upon arriving as a freshman: 惇蹋勛圖厙 is a community of faculty and students who earnestly seek to love Christ and one another. That is a rare and precious thing that I could not have found at a public institution.

I had a deep desire to be discipled
My family didn't go to church very often, and I went to a large metro-Atlanta public school; therefore, I had very little Christian community around me and had a deep desire to be discipled. I stumbled upon 惇蹋勛圖厙 randomly, as I had no idea that it existed until my senior year. I came up for a tour and knew immediately that 惇蹋勛圖厙 was where the Lord wanted me to be.

惇蹋勛圖厙 was my dream college
I don't come from a super well-off family, so I applied for all of the scholarships I could and worked very hard with my parents and my AC to make 惇蹋勛圖厙 financially possible. In the end, I had to make an expensive, lasting commitment, but 惇蹋勛圖厙 was my dream college, so I have faith that God has me right where he wants me.
