| | The King's CollegeThis weekend has been one of the greatest of my life. Honestly. For those of you not aware, I took a Thursday-Monday (today) trip to New York City to participate in the Founder's Scholarship for the King's College. This scholarship, in the order of $10K annually, is awarded to five students out of 37 that chose to attend. The weekend also provided a chance for myself and my parents, both of whom attended, to determine what King's was really like.
I come away amazed. The King's College, or TKC from henceforth, has people that I love to be around. By that I mean people who are always looking for new ideas, people who love to learn, people who want to make a difference. There are only 200 or so people currently attending TKC, but every person, despite their varied backgrounds, wants to change and improve the world. Even better that they work from a Judeo-Christian worldview ... but there is no requirement for students regarding theological principles. Apparently, self-proclaimed paganists, atheists, Catholics and Protestants have all attended, but those without a pervasive subscription to Christian thought often leave after several semesters. Anyways, the people are all smart, wonderful, kind, everything I could want. The Empire State Building for my school, and the world for my "playground."
I will post a synopsis of the weekend, probably at my Blogger site. No need for you to bore yourself with the details. Suffice to say that the competition really brought all of us Founder's students closer together, even though we were competing against each other. And I think that TKC may be first on my list now, above Grove City. It is a very compelling environment -- I hope that I can capitalize on it.
Heard there was ice back home ... stay safe, folks.
