Wow! I can hardly believe that the first semester here at Messiah College is halfway over. It seems that move-in day and parents’ weekend were all just yesterday. As many of us are consumed within papers, activities, and commitments alike; it’s very difficult to notice how time just appears to evaporate. Already I have witnessed the excitement of both Men’s and Women’s soccer here at Messiah, in addition to having the chance to watch our field hockey team dominate in their home-opener against Seton Hill. Its tough going to a school where God has blessed us with such talented students—isn’t it?
My time here at the College has been a very busy, yet productive one. I am currently working for the Phonathon program and, frankly, I am having a blast! Not only do I get to meet all sorts of alumni and parents from around the country (possibly world too) and acquire the priceless skill of effective communication, but I have the chance to promote the school from a very personal perspective. This is something that could only come from me, which is satisfying for me as well as the gracious individuals on the other end of the line as well.
What has Messiah done for me? So far, I am extremely satisfied with my choice of school. Messiah has surrounded me in the God-loving environment that I was initially seeking. I have been welcomed with open arms, it is now up to me to extend my own desire to approach and take advantage of the many opportunities that lie before me.
God Bless,
Quinn Dillon
