It is important to go where you think you will have an enjoyable time while also being able to find success in your future. The next four years are important; however, the next forty years are likely more important.
What is the biggest lesson that you have learned while in college?
I can do it. With a little (or a lot) of help from the Lord, I have managed to do more in college than I thought would be possible. College is a big step which I was originally hesitant to take, but I have found confidence in the Lord and myself which has allowed me to accomplish all I could have hoped for.
