Wheaton College

“It’s a great college, but it's not the best place for me”. This is what I tell my peers when they ask why I am considering transferring to another college. Wheaton College is an extraordinary school with some of the brightest students and most knowledgeable professors in the nation. Deciding where I wanted to attend college and what I wanted out of my college experience was an immense amount of pressure placed on the shoulders of my then eighteen-year-old self. In the end, Wheaton College won out over all of my other options for several reasons. First, I chose Wheaton because it felt comfortable. Located in Illinois, it was only a six-hour drive from my hometown. Second, the small student population. I felt that I would be overwhelmed if…

The route to ministry for Billy was through college. One of the South’s leading evangelists, Bob Jones, came to Charlotte to speak at a high school to recruit students to attend Bob Jones College in Cleveland, Tennessee. Billy’s parents believed that this was the place for their son (Bruns, 2004). In the fall of 1936, Graham went off to Cleveland to begin his studies. Graham thought that the college was more strict than a prison (Bruns, 2004). For example, a couple could not hold hands and mail…

of ethics they are speaking to a person’s morals. With that said everyone has different morals. What one might see as being ethically or morally correct might not hold true or hold the same value to someone else (Greenberg, Bruess, Oswalt, pg. 741).

Introduction to Music Studies One point that really resonated with me was in Dr. Carolyn Hart’s speech. She mentioned that sometimes God will block our intentions, our plans, with a red light in order to get us to turn in the direction He wants us to go. I was very encouraged and impacted by this idea, that particular week and the week before I had been feeling quite discouraged, I wasn’t feeling at home in Wheaton, I was feeling overwhelmed by the large workload and the (small) amount of…

When I was just a little kid, I noticed I was not like the other children. I had a habit of talking to myself, and making up imaginary stories that I would act out in class. Soon after entering school, the other kids noticed, and would harass me for talking to myself. Since I was ‘different’ from them I was often left out of games and activities.

Do you think that school should start later? I think school should start later. As a middle schooler, I see some students sleeping in class.

In an article called “Backgrounder: Later School Start Times”, the author states that kids need a lot of sleep for performance, health, and brain development. Research shows that kids need 8 or 9 hours of sleep each night. Anne Wheaton says “getting enough sleep is important for students’…
