A defining moment for me during my time at Hope was having the privilege of being a senior witness. The opportunity to share my story before the people of Hope was an experience I will never forget. Standing on the stage of Dimnent before the pews, in which I had sat countless times, before my peers, and my community, I realized, with so much more certainty, that Hope truly is more than a place, it’s a people. I am so grateful for a people that are more than friends, mentors, and professors. The people of Hope are my family and every moment with them has made me a better man. Trygve always says to choose a people and I’m so thankful that God placed me at Hope because it’s people changed my life.
