Poster Child

Yesterday a old college friend of mine e-mailed me to let me know that there was a picture of me up on the main website of my alma mater, Southern Virginia University. Making me, according to him, the face of SVU alumni. That started me thinking about my SVU experience and although I am hardly qualified to be a poster child for the school I am grateful for my experience there.

The three years that I spent at SVU was the happiest, most carefree period of my adult life. It was at SVU that I started to develop who I was. Thanks to my wonderful professors I began to believe in myself and learned that I could accomplish anything that I put my mind to. I got involved in all sorts of things I never imagined I would be doing. At SVU I began to blossom, that process was finished over my mission and continues to be refined through my experiences at Penn State but my process of becoming began at SVU. Since I graduated at left the University has continued to grow and progress and so have I. I don't know that the school will ever be a huge part of my life again but it has left a deep and lasting mark on me as a daughter of God.
