Hope College gave me the opportunity to find my passion as well as pursue it both on campus and away from Holland. I am so thankful that I am able to confidently throw myself into my vocation and fall in love with it at the same time. I am so thankful for all of my classmates, friends, professors, and mentors who have encouraged me to not just seek my passions, but immerse myself in them. Hope us such a unique, close network of people that is unlike anywhere else I have ever been. I was able to focus on, my health, my career, my friends, my faith, and my family (I have LOVED having my sister at Hope with me and discovering the place my Dad fell in love with years ago), and I am so thankful for all of it. I believe that the blessings that I found at Hope College will stay with me and be a part of the rest of my life. It has been a truly life-altering three and three-and-a-quarter years. (:
