I have gotten a since of pride and knowledge about my Lord and Savior. I was always a bible reader, but when I went to Dallas Christian College they made me a warrior for God. They took the book of the Bible and explained it cover to cover on what God was saying back then and how to apply it to our lives. Also, I am able to share the goodness of God to others and that makes me proud. I will not only be getting a B.A. from this college I will also be getting a license to share Gods word in the right way.

I have received an education that will last the rest of my life and career. I have been taught by knowledgable, trustworthy, and incredible teachers, all of which love what they do and love theri students more. Some of my professors may not have a doctrate degree, but theie intlligence stretches far beyond mine. They have set a bar so high that I feel I may chase them the rest of my life. And for that to be one of my goals, I consider myself lucky. Some kids go to college and receive a rubbish education that they paid way too much for and will never use. I get to use my education every day.

The tools to effectively study the Word of God.

I have learned a lot througout my college experience about myself and who it is that I am. I have also learned to be more outspoken in the plans in which God has for my life. My children have been encouraged to see their mother return back to school after so many years and the health issues in which I endured being a liver transplant patient. This has encouraged them to keep striving in high school and plan for their own future. I will be attending college at least two more years which will help my two daughters to keep their focus on their high school and college studies.

I learned how to be more responsibile for what is more importend things in my life. God comes first and then comes school, in the past a really did not have the best out look about school. But now that I am in college i got start making a run for what the future has for me. Money dose not grow on trees and i have to work hard for what i want in life. College is showing me that nothing is easy in life. But if you work hard it can pay of.

I have learned through my various college classes how to improve my understanding of the world. To connect the concepts that compose each field of study, to make wise and knowledgable decisions based on that connectivity of thought. I have been able to develop methods of reason and careful analysis of the decisions I make and to realize their outcomes. The skills that I have acquired have helped me financially, physically, and in relating to others of all ages and cultures. By taking a variety of courses, I feel well-balanced as an individual and confident in my skills as a professional. I have learned to understand another's point of view and work with them, each having their unique standards, to create a successful result. I feel better prepared to help society, my family, my country, and my community in any compacity afforded me.

This college is different from most since it is a small Bible college, and I am different from most college students since I am over 40, married, with 4 children. Dallas Christian College has been a fabulous experience for me. I have learned so much about the Bible, about the beauty of its literature, about music and worship. I have gained a great deal of practical, hands-on experience for my career choice through activities and responsibilities on campus as well as in my off-campus internship. I was never made to feel out of place, even though I am closer to the age of most of my classmates parents. I have a definite sense of belonging here and confirmation that this is where I am supposed to be. The faculty here are great sources of help, direction, encouragement, and mentoring. They really care about the students and strive to guide them along the path. I will greatly miss everyone here when I graduate, and I look forward to going to seminary with all the knowledge, passion, and experience that I gained here.

When I graduated high school I was a mess. My mother fought and pushed me into going to Valley Fordge Military College which is exactly what I needed. After two years of militatry college I earned my AA degree and I had learned enough disipline to be able to transfer to Frostburg State University and graduate with a BS in Business Management after two and a half years. In my second year at Valley Forge was a starting offensive gaurd on their first college football team and I earned the rank of Provost Master Sergeant and acting team leader which was a great experience. I also played football my first year at Frostburg and would of continued to play if I had not gotten into a car accident which endied my football career. Those experiences gave me the confidence and ability to set goals for myself and drive to achieve them. Latley I have felt lost again so I am attempting to find a post graduate program that will allow me to set new goals for myself. I know this is the first step that I need to accomplish inorder for me to have a sucessful career change.

I would say that firstly it would be a renewed drive to learn, realizing that I am not incompetent. I have been homeschooled my entire life, which I greatly enjoyed, but I was nervous going to college, never having learned in a classroom. But the professors at DCC are so helpful and understanding, that I want to do well to please them, and in trying to do so, I realized that success was within reach, and it drove me to try harder.
Most importantly I have come away from my first year with a deeper love and thirst for God. The professors are all devout Christians, encouraging the students to further their walk with the Lord by practicing the spiritual disciplines. And not only do the professors talk about it, but they show integrity by setting an example in faith and love and purity. Most of all I love the professors' passion in the classroom. They all care what they are talking about, and in turn I care and give a better effort in class, and that garantees a better experience. You get out of college what you put into it. I thank God that He led me to DCC.
