Totally New World

For most freshmen, coming to college is

the biggest change they have ever made.

They seem pushed into a whole new and

completly different world of uncertainty

and unfamiliarity. The sometimes

overwhelming feelings of lonliness,

depression, and homesickness are just a

few common traits manifested in this stage

of life. Although some freshmen try to

make it on their own strength, most

realize that there is someone waiting for

them with open arms. The Heavenly

Father takes this opportunity to open a

brand new chapter in their spiritual life.

He waits to draw nigh and provide His

special peace. Through group devotions,

freshmen learn new songs of praise, hear

testimonies of others, and get acquainted

with the needs of their new family through

prayer requests and praises.

Good friends are hard to find, but both Maureen

Chavarri and Elisa Cancel had a much easier fresh­

man year because of their good friendship and con­

cern for one another.
