Dance Marathon was a large part of my story at Hope. I learned about myself, God, and the world around me. This picture encapsulates the pure joy I felt around this event. Thank you Hope College and Hope College Dance Marathon.

My favorite memory from Hope was my off-campus study program in Chicago with such a great group of people working together toward God’s purpose. I thank Hope and Chicago Semester for all the amazing memories from my time in Chicago and the lifetime lessons learned through service to diverse, underserved communities. I transitioned from a student nurse to an RN and I feel confident in my abilities as I transition away from Hope. While it was cut short, it is definitely a semester that will forever impact my perspective of how we engage others with a spirit of hope and compassion.

Hope College has given me so much over the past four years. I am going to miss the campus, the community, and most of all, the people. I had the privilege of being involved in Fashion Club, Business Club, and the New York Arts Program. They each gave me the opportunity to grow as a student. I am eternally grateful to Hope College and will miss it so much!

Being a part of the Delta Phi Sorority, STEP, and the nursing program have made my experience unforgettable. The friendships I was able to form from these communities are what make it difficult to say goodbye to Hope College. I will forever be grateful for how this college has shaped me into the person I am today.

I am thankful for the friendships I have from all departments I’ve been able to be a part of, but Latino Student Organization has given me a family that I’ll forever cherish. The memories and events we shared together will never be forgotten and is a big part of my Hope experience I’m most proud of and will remember most. Thank you Hope for a full four years, onto the next chapter!

Some of my favorite memories at Hope College are with the Kappa Beta Phi sorority. This sorority has given me some of my best friends. The countless memories of staying up late watching scary movies, having pancake dinners, going on coffee dates, having sleepovers at the Haworth Inn during finals week, having early morning Bible studies, and so many more are close to my heart. I am so grateful for this organization and the relationships I have made through it.

Hope has given me so much over my 4 years, but the best thing it gave me was Sigma Iota Beta and all of the amazing women within it. I found my best friends who I have been able to travel the world with, live in an 11 person house with, grind in the library with, and have endless dance parties with. I’m so thankful for Hope and all of the people it brought into my life.
