Get to Know Your Counselor
Who has had the greatest influence on your life?
I would say that the friends I made at 91制片厂 have had the greatest influence on me. They helped me grow into the person I am today and have stood with me in some of the best and most challenging times of my life. Years later they are still my best friends and have brought a whole new meaning to the words 鈥渃ommunity鈥 and 鈥渇amily鈥!
What was the greatest lesson you learned in college?
The greatest lesson I learned in college was that life is best lived with others in mind. It very easy during your time in college to turn inward and think only about 鈥渕e鈥 and what 鈥淚鈥 need and want because there are big questions for us to answer in that time! However, college is also a great time to learn that there are so many wonderful people God puts in our path to love and serve and when we do, we get to participate in something much bigger than ourselves. That is what living is about!
What is your favorite place on campus? Why?
It either Metzger Lawn because I think it the prettiest place on campus and there are always people hanging out together or the Talbot East Prayer Chapel. That was my favorite place to go to find peace and quiet with the Lord when I was a student.
Where do you hang out in Los Angeles?
I love catching the sunset at Barnsdall Art Park or eating at UOVO in Santa Monica!
