I’m only two days away from graduation! Time definitely seems to move faster the closer you get to a long-awaited event. And this is definitely the most anticipated event in my life for quite a while!

It seemed appropriate to write a retrospective blog post on my time at ACC. Looking back, I can clearly see God’s hand guiding me to this place; although at the time, all I could see was discomfort and confusion.

The typical college student’s dilemma: what to major in?! While I didn’t choose photography at first, I’m so glad I gave it a shot. (Pun intended.) For me, it’s such a perfect blend of creativity and practicality. And not only that, but I’ve had the awesome opportunity to study in an exceptional program. God is good!

And though I never really doubted him, my dad was absolutely right: college is about personal growth, “stretching” he calls it. In my case, I think that was an even more important lesson than the valuable book learning. Truthfully, I’m a bit of wimp, but I’ve learned I can do harder things than I thought. An uncomfortable lesson, but one I need to keep learning.

Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come...
