I never understood how college athletes could spend a year or two in college just to audition for the pros and then leave their university behind after the briefest of moments living the college life. Okay, I'll be the first to admit that the prospect of millions of dollars changes things quite a bit, but after completing my first year of college at Indiana Wesleyan University, I can't imagine leaving after four years, let alone one or two.
Forget writing. Now, I don't say that much, but I mean it here. Really, FORGET writing. Sure, that's part of what I've learned, but more than anything else, the most valuable thing that I've taken away from these past few months is how much I've grown as a person. It's not something that I can explain or show on a test, but it's changed me for the better, and I know I am more prepared for the real world (whatever that is).
But my favorite part has been the people. I have met so many friends that have changed my life, and made it so much more interesting. I've almost learned as much from the people I've met here at IWU as the classes I've taken.
So in three years, when I'm getting ready to walk down that aisle for the final time, a little part of me will wish my time wasn't over yet. But at least I'll have been able to enjoy more than just a year of this amazing experience.
