"And so it is, just as you said it would be"

I remember a few months after school started and I felt like I didn't have an identity. In high school I was involved in everything and a good basketball player and everything. I made a difference at Liberty, I think, for the good.

So when I came to AU and felt lost in the mix, I struggled for awhile. I remember one night when I realized how I felt Lisa comforted me and told me I would make a difference here too. Just give it time.

Well the second semester of my Freshman year I began writing a weekly article in the Andersonian. Whatever assignment they gave me I went for. It was fun and exciting for me as I was interested in this sort of thing. I even got to do a couple of movie reviews, which was my preference. After interviewing Dean Terry Truitt of the FSB for a story, he apparently was impressed with the article. Flash forward about 6 months and Dr. Truitt invites me to be the Public Relations Coordinator at the FSB. Have I written about this before? Well this position has allowed me to help the FSB by getting news articles into the Herald Bulletin and on AU's website and stuff. Also, we've put together a newsletter for alumni and undergraduates.

The other half of the story is SIFE. I became involved in SIFE and we are making a difference as well. Tomorrow we'll present our story in Chapel to the student body. I have 3 sections of speaking. They should be pretty easy. I know it really well. Even so, it will be nerve racking...very nerve racking.

So to summarize, it is just as she said it would be. I feel as though I'm making a difference during my time here. I have an identity sometimes it's "Mr. Business" or sometimes it's "The SIFE President" (which I'm not...yet), but more importantly internally I feel as though I'm helping the school and Anderson. The Lord has blessed me with these opportunities and allowed me to get involved.
I think this whole thing sounds egotistical, but really it's just a story of how your goals can be reached. (I am a bit of an egotist though) Is egotist a word?
