told you I was going to Andrews University, but as IT marched down the aisle on
graduation Sunday, I knew that I couldn't see mysclf going anywhere else.
I’m sure everyone can remember his or her first few experiences on this campus.
My first Fusion and failed exam stand out among the many memories I've had
during my time here, and I'll always remember the professors that taught me what
it meant to be a Christian. I never thought that I'd leave Anatomy and Physiology
class with a better understanding of the character of Christ, but there is some-

maybe even more. What I found during my time here is much more than I could
have ever expected or hoped for. I've learned to see life through different eves and
come to understand that, although we don’t live in a perfect world, we can con-

Always remember that lite, and every experience that it brings, is
what you make of it. Don’t let the negatives outweigh the positives,
but let the good times be what your remember the most.
