你是怎么听说威尼斯人平台的？为什么选择威尼斯人平台？
我是通过教会听说圣约人的。 I first came to Covenant when I was in middle school for a summer camp called the Edge, and then again in high school when I came for a visit. I was instantly welcomed into the Covenant community by all of the current students, which made me fall in love with Covenant.
你最喜欢圣约的哪一方面？
我最喜欢圣约会的地方是大厅生活。 I have lived on Ekklesia for the past two years, and I cannot imagine leaving. 我走廊里的人都成了我的兄弟。 It is so cool to live with guys who come from so many different places, have different backgrounds, are interested in different things, but all love Christ. My hall has been so integral to my time at Covenant and I am so excited to continue pouring into my hall as an upperclassman.
教授和/或学者对你影响最大的是什么？
我深受教授们对学生的关心和爱护的影响。 我最喜欢的教授之一是沃什伯恩博士。 He set up exam study hours so that he could help students prepare for tests. He also constantly prayed for his students and always asked how he could be praying for us. It was so amazing to have a professor who cared so much about me as a student and an individual.
你最喜欢你专业的哪一部分，或者觉得你准备得最充分？
我喜欢社会学看待世界的方式。 It has been so interesting to study how society shapes peoples' behaviors.
What do you hope to pursue after Covenant and how do you see Covenant supporting your future career or calling?
我仍然不确定在威尼斯人平台之后我想做什么。 However, through all of the opportunities at Covenant, I feel prepared to leave and be successful in my future calling.
How is Covenant equipping you for active membership in the church or discipleship within the body of Christ?
The faculty at Covenant do an amazing job of teaching students how to live out and think about doctrines from the perspective of a church body and everyday living.
《圣约》在哪些方面促进了你的属灵培育？
Covenant fosters spiritual formation by providing so many opportunities, such as 教堂 talks, classes, and additional events, for students to engage with difficult questions in a thoughtful and encouraging manner.
圣约社区是如何支持你成长为一个完整的人的？
Covenant has supported my development as a whole person by creating so many different environments that have been so vital to my development. I love how Covenant shapes its community—starting with hall culture, which leads to building culture, and spreads to campus-wide culture and community. Because of this, I have been able to get to know so many people across campus, who have all had a greatly positive impact on my time at Covenant.
How have your relationships at Covenant shaped your expectations for the other communities God will call you to in life?
Through my time at Covenant I have built such strong and impactful relationships with so many people. Before coming to Covenant, I did not expect to cherish this community as much as I do now. Because of this, I know that it will be difficult to find such a rich community anywhere else—this side of Heaven.
你在圣威尼斯人平台最美好的记忆是什么？
我在圣威尼斯人平台最美好的记忆是我大二的入住日。 Throughout the summer I was so excited to be back on the mountain. I missed my friends and being on campus. 我迫不及待地想再见到大家。 When I finally got to move back in, I was so happy. 我看到了我整个夏天都没见过的朋友们。 太棒了！ 感觉就像回到了家。 I remember saying multiple times that day: "This is the best day of my life."
