What do you hope to achieve while studying at Sterling College?
When I arrived at Sterling College three years ago I was very focused on gaining certain skills in my major such as journalistic writing, videography, photography and graphic design. Since then I have made a lot of progress in acquiring these skills, but I have also learned that Sterling College is so much more that a place to gain specific work-related skills. The most valuable things I have learned while in college are skills like how to handle conflict, how to better understand other people's perspectives, and how to be who I am, even if that is different from many of the people around me. 
Most Memorable moment at Sterling College?
Last year for the Acting II final, the class was required to dress up in period appropriate garb and play characters at a Restoration (1600's) party for two hours. At one point we paraded around the campus, through the library, through Kelsey and into the union, all while wearing massive wigs, full skirts and corsets (in the girl's case). The party also consisted of dancing, a spontaneous duel to the death, poisoning, flirting and round after round of ever more far fetched gossip. I'm sure this day will forever rank as the best final of my life and certainly the most memorable. 
What does Sterling College mean to you?
Sterling College represents growth and opportunity. Over the past three years I have been consistently challenged to go farther and be better, and I have been provided with the resources and direction to rise to those challenges. I have learned so much about who I am and who I want to be. I have learned what it means to be a good friend and how to pull together with a team to accomplish things that I could never do alone.

I came to Sterling wanting to get my degree and play the sport I love. As I leave this place, I can look back and say that I achieved more than just my primary goals.

Most Memorable moment at Sterling College?
I will always remember the night I shared my testimony at Fields of Faith in front of hundreds of people, the presence of the Lord was all over that place. I will also remember the time my parents came to visit and see me play baseball after 4 years.
What does Sterling College mean to you?
Sterling College is home away from home. Sterling is the place I strengthen my relationship with Christ.
