s youngsters, time held little meaning for us. During

a long trip, how many of us constantly asked "Are

we there yet?" In our high school years we were

confronted with never having enough time for

everything we wanted to accomplish. However,

most of us still were not quite prepared for how

much time would be required of us in college.

Each year of college life is like a chapter in a novel,

flowing one into the other to form a complete

story. With each passing year, we mature and

become better prepared for what God has in store

for us. i

We start over our freshman year; once "king of

the hill" we are now "low man on the totem pole."

Through encouragement from our instructors and

new friends, we learn to adjust to college life.

Classes pick up and we are busy in our

sophomore year; however, we still find enough

time to make sure we don't miss out on any extra­

curricular activities.

Reality sets in during our junior year as we begin

taking courses that are specific to our major. We

spend more energy and time on classwork than in

our previous two years.

The final year arrives and all of us develop

"senioritis" sometime during the year. Most of our

college career is behind us and the real world is

waiting. Classes are more interesting because we

can see their practicality. The senior year is

probably the best year of all which explains the

difficulty of leaving college and moving on.
