My first two weeks at Mississippi College have been exciting, but also has been a learning experience. It is a challenge to get use to a new environment. It is amazing how fast you have to grow up and make decisions of your own once you go to college. So far, I have already developed intellectually, spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
I think my English 101 class has been the center of my intellectual growth. I have never seen the methods Dr. Miller uses to teach. He encourages you to think outside the box and you are able to see different point of views. He also challenged me, by assigning this blog page. I must admit this is not something I would typically do.
Spiritually, I have grown because I have, what I believe is a closer relationship with God. Coming here has encouraged me to read my Bible more and focus on pleasing God. Taking Bible 110 and going to Chapel gives me great inspiration.
Socially, I think most freshmen have grown socially these past weeks. Coming to a new school and not knowing many people, forces you to mingle. Making new friends has been important because I am away from my family for long periods of time. Friends must substitute for family.
I know I have strengthen emotionally. Being away from my comfort zone and facing challenges makes me emotional. Dealing with those emotions and getting through them, that strengthens me.
I think that there is still a lot of growth to come. I am ready to receive all that MC has to offer me, because I want to continue to better myself.

I've really enjoyed getting to know you in class, and now out of class via this blog. I definitely agree with what you said about friends substituting for your family and how we are taken out of our comfort zone. It is hard but it does strengthen us and that's how we grow.
I'm glad that you are enjoying your start at MC. I like your sense of dedication and hopefully Christ will lead to many blessings here at MC!
i understand what you are saying, i knew no one here when i first came and it forced me to get out of my comfort zone and make new friends.
