Informative Essay: Lessons Learned While Attending College

Decent Essays
When it comes to attending Chapel, there are as much cons as there are pros. Chapel takes up time that we as college students don't have much of, Considering that most of us if not all have classes, homework, and extracurricular activities. Another issue with Chapel service is that we are required to wear "Professional attire", even though I believe God would want us to come as we are. The main problem with Chapel is that we are instructed to write an essay about what we learned during our time there, I firmly believe that is unecessary work and causes most of us to feel like we have to attend, instead of wanting to attend service. Due to Irma damaging the PAC, everyone is not able to attend Chapel as a result of limited seats in white hall.
