When i got my full ride scholarship to go to Westminster, i had to consider a lot of things before accepting. I mean, i was applying to 5 out of state schools that I was DYING to go to and accepting the scholarship would mean postponing my plans on moving out of state (i say postponing because i WILL GO TO AN OUT OF STATE SCHOOL FOR GRADUATE WORK! plus i have my mission...) and that was a real tough thing to let go of. I talked to my counselor about it and she highly recommended that i go there (she loves small colleges and says that they are the best and cater the most to their students) and so she was the first to really start convincing me. And then their was Helen (if you don't know her, she's the college and career lady-she actually was the one that told me about the scholarship). She told me "Elizabeth, you have been given a great gift, don't take it lightly." Well, they obviously knew what they were talking about, I mean, that's basically their whole career. But honestly, i left it up to God. I prayed and PRAYED and Prayed...and then i got my answer. And if it felt so right!
This week i signed up for my classes. I declared my major (sociology) and am double minoring (philosophy and political science). This is so exciting!!! I feel on top of the world...I already know so many people that are dedicated in making sure that i take the right classes and the right teachers...its been amazing. I mean I'm so pumped that i even want to triple minor! In Spanish, so its not like it'll be hard or anything. But still, i don't even know if you can triple minor ;) All i'm saying is that things happen for a reason. I don't know why i have to stay in state, i don't know what i am supposed to learn but i guess I'll find out soon enough.
Until next time...
Elizabeth
