Graceland was the right choice for paving a successful path for my future. The community is reflective of the ‘Power of Together’. Faculty put in the effort to connect, teach, and understand all students. Personally, I had faculty push and motivate me beyond my limits in the classroom and on the court. In choosing my next path after graduation, professors took the time to sit down with me and explore all the opportunities and possibilities available. Graceland has so many resources which provide success; you just have to want it.

Graceland University education and lifelong practical experience are a cornerstone of what I am doing today. My classmates, colleagues, my students, and their families have given me the motivation to enjoy the “journey.” And I believe that one day I will be back!

My circle of close friends from Graceland grew quicker and has lasted longer than I could have imagined. I never considered myself very outgoing, but everything about Graceland invites you to grow as a human being.

Graceland taught me that in order to be the best teammate you need to hone in on your individual skills to make your team better. Graceland taught me what my strengths were and helped me to identify what I needed to work on to be better. This applies to the classroom as well as in the workplace. Working hard, being supportive of my coworkers successes, and striving to be better than I was yesterday are just a few skills I learned at Graceland.
