Today is Biola’s fist day of school for the 2011 fall semester. And though I no longer attend school there, the University has become my new workplace. This summer I was offered a job as “Executive Assistant to the Vice President of University Communications and Marketing.” A long title, I know. Think of it as a right-hand man (well, ok girl) to one of Biola’s VP’s. It’s been fun and I love it a lot.
Where I’m at now is exactly what I wanted. Or so I thought…
All I’ve wanted for the past few years is to be done with school. Done with homework. Done with living off of less than 5 hours of sleep a night due to constant busyness. Done with classes and the influx of information that makes you feel like you’re trying to swim up against the torrential downfall of the Niagara Falls in order to understand it all.
But now, as school starts up again for everyone else, I’m suddenly feeling very jealous of them all. I thought I wanted to be done with it all. But in reality… I really just want to keep on learning. I want to be in the mix again – learning, growing, being fed valuable truths by teachers yearning to make an impact in my life.
I want to go back.
But maybe, just maybe… this is where I put all that education to practice. This is where all that truth and information I learned becomes reality. And who am I kidding? Learning on the job happens every day. I just never realized how much I love that process.
Danny Paschall hit the nail on the head at today's Convocation ceremony when he said, "College is not your best life. It's about building your best life."
I can't sit here and think the best part of my life is over now that college is through. College was a building process. And, thankfully, I'm still being built, I'm still being worked on. May God who began this work in me carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.
