It is disturbing for me as a student at this University, to see people belittling the education I am receiving here. I am offended that you consider my decision to be a student missionary…a decision I made after meeting with others on this campus, be credited to Darwin. No, it IS my faith in the fundamentals of our SDA ideals that lead to my decision and I am thankful for this University to inspire so many of us to do this. I am also perturbed that you would disregard my involvement with ministries on campus. I, along with countless others from campus assist in worship program each week. Are you again saying that I should blame my University for empowering me to be thusly involved? Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, University Worship, Friday night vespers, Sabbath School…what else do you want me to go to?! I’m glad my parents and all of the people who pay tithe believe in me and this institution so that I can walk into various classrooms and have teachers pray before we start. I’m lucky to have the chaplains office, deans and other faculty and staff stay up until midnight with us if we need to talk. What other campus has such large number of alumni that return to work at the University because they love it. Why would you want me to leave a school where I can find faculty and staff at all sporting events, midnight feeds, eating with us in the cafe, giving us rides when they see us walking to the grocery store, loaing us their textbooks when we can’t afford them, encouraging us to think globally, hosting dinner or movie nights at their homes for international & dorm students over break who couldn’t go home, etc. Look at what the add says. Those are my friends. This is our campus. We do have service-learning, there are countless number of hours that people put into being involved in causes or just feeding and clothing those around us. We do have missionaries out in the world. Spring baptisms are a highlight on campus each year. Do you have a problem with this?! Should I slay administration for the chance to learn at the feet of my dedicated professors? I for one am not being spoon fed life. Maybe others in our denomination feel that they need to be nursed in all aspects of their Christian walk, but I am thankful that the resources have been laid before me here at La Sierra and that I am able to choose my own will…praise God for giving us choice. Now can you please stop causing chaos here…I’m trying to study.
