I attended a secular university my first year of college and realized that I needed a change. I was headed down a dark road and realized that I wanted to get on the right path or leave my past behind me. Ironically when I arrived here, I still did not make the best decisions, but now I realize it was all part of God’s bigger picture for my life. Through getting in trouble here, I was introduced to structure and stability. Part of the disciplinary contract they set up for me was to meet with the Dean of Women for accountability. I learned over time through this that you could have a normal life while striving to be a better Christian in your daily walk. I saw for the first time an example of a true godly woman. I was encouraged to be myself but to strive for a deeper relationship with God. It was through the discipline and structure that CCU gave me that turned my life around. I began to desire those changes whole heartedly and I felt I had the support to be able to do it.

I have been married for two years now. My husband is a police officer and we have taken on the responsibility to witness to his coworkers and friends as often as possible. It keeps us on our toes because we need to be good examples for them to respect us and desire what we have in Christ. It is obvious that I would not be the same person without that one-on-one advice and guidance from the faculty and staff at CCU. The support that I received when I was here changed my life forever and I am thankful for having the opportunity to come here. Hopefully, I can one day be that example to someone else as the people at CCU were to me.
