My second college visit.

Hi everybody. Today I went on my second college visit. My daddy and I went to High Point University. We got lost trying to find the college when we got off the highway we were on college drive but sadly we went the wrong way on college drive. When we got there by the admissions office there were signs with the students names with the people visiting the college. So we had a reserved spot that said Barbara Thomas Greensboro NC. I had to check this paper with all my information on it and then they let us get drinks and we got on a golf cart and took a tour of the college with one of the student ambassadors. Daddy and I had to ride on the back of the cart which is really weird cause you don't know where you are going. We went down the International Promenade with flags up representing all the countries that have students in the school. We stoped and saw the theatre with a quater of a million dollar chandelier. The chandelier is itialian crystal which they bought a few years ago. They were doing a lot of construction so we didn't get to see the science buildings or the chapel. But because the school is affliated with the methodist church all students are required to take some sort of religious class. There are chapel services that you can use for credits but they have world religion classes and a bunch of things. They are building a new school of business which will have a direct feed from the new york stock exchange. They are also building a new school of communication with a bunch of new technology and a live direct feed from a local news channel. I will write some more later. Lots of love.

I'm glad you and Daddy got to go to HPU and that you considered at least looking and that you like it so much! I am praying for you as you start making these important life decisions that you will seek God's will for your life and that He will give you the wisdom to make them and His guidance about what He wants for you.
Love always,
Mommy

Glad you got to take a look at the university. It sounds pretty cool. Grandpa and I are praying that God guide you in this VERY IMPORTANT decision.
