Scholarship Competition

This week, Wednesday, was the scholarship competition at Grace College for the MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. My dad and I traveled from MN on Tuesday, hitting snow in Wisconsin and traffic in Chicago despite efforts to avoid it. All day Wednesday, I was at Grace meeting other students and the program faculty, participating in an interview, doing an essay portion, attending a class, taking a campus tour, meeting a current student, and going to the fanciest restaurant in the entire city area with all the other candidates. It was an amazing experience that made me even more excited to be at school at Grace in the fall!

Today we spent the day looking at apartments and driving around Winona Lake, Warsaw, and Wabash. We looked at cars, found a couple credit unions that could be an option, and saw some of the prettiest old-fashioned southern houses in the area. Now we are spending our last night in Marion with Ashley before we head back home tomorrow. We went to a really great crepe place and are at the hotel relaxing now. In all, it's been a really great week and I've learned a lot about what it will be like to get down here in August. Definitely going to be trusting God for all of this to fall into place!!
