MY STORY
Mentoring.
The
mentoring relationships with the faculty and staff here at Milligan are
really different from other schools. My mentor advises me not just on
classes but she helps with other things, as well. She's interested in how
I'm doing. Everyone at Milligan seems to want you to succeed.
My mentor is
always available. I had an issue my freshman year and my mom told me to talk
to my mentor. She was right. My mentor was really helpful. She always asks
me how I'm doing and she'll talk to me about anything -- not just classes.
I'll want to keep in contact with her even after I graduate.
Art.
I've always
thought I wanted to help people and I want to somehow combine that with my
love for art. Teaching is a possibility. I like my art classes and Mr.
Blosser is a great teacher. In talking to the other art majors and with
artists who visit our classes, I'm getting lots of ideas for how I can
combine mission work with art. I'm praying about it a lot. It's neat to see
and hear how I can use art in my career to do God's work.
Humanities.
I like to
see how things are connected. It's really exciting. I find myself writing
papers for my other classes and including things I learned from Humanities.
It really does help you become a better person, learning about the past and
how it relates to who we are today. I'm looking forward to the Humanities
tour and seeing in person and up close what we've been learning about.
Connecting
yesterday and today.
I took Dr. Farmer's
honors Humanities class. There were only 13 of us and we got into some deep
conversations about history and how everything is connected to something
from years ago and yet still affects me today. It's really cool to have
those conversations.
How I learned
about Milligan.
Our friends in Bristol
were always telling us what a great school Milligan is. My mom had also
heard that from others -- from people who hire Milligan graduates. It's got
a great reputation. When you hear someone went to Milligan, you know they
have good values and a good work ethic.
We liked campus a lot
when we visited. Everyone was really nice on our campus tour and ready to
help. I thought, "This is the kind of school I want to go to."
And now I'm here. It
feels like home. The school's values align with mine. It's perfect to find a
school that's not too far from home but still far enough for the college
experience.
