SHAPING YOUR FUTURE
"God has a calling for each one of His creations. In order to find God’s purpose for us, we have to open our minds and hearts to God’s voice speaking to us, whether that be through the mentors we have in our lives, our friends and colleagues, or experiences that we have through life. College is one of the many times that we will be exposed to all three of these things, while also learning and having fun, of course!"
