 "Coming from home, I was very comfortable, and I saw no need for growth. But when I came to Sterling College, it’s when I accepted Christ, and that’s when I found healing, when the growth started happening and when I started realizing my purpose. Once I accepted my purpose, I was able to flourish into the person that God has called me to be.” - Amanda Carriedo ’18
