You mean it’s really possible to graduate from college…
…and still not be prepared for the rest of my life?
The transitional phase of college can be the most exiting and yet confusing
time in a person’s life. No two people go to college for the same reasons,
but ultimately everyone wants the same thing-a diploma signed by the president.
That degree means, at least theoretically, that you’ve been trained
in a certain field. With a few breaks, a little luck, and lots of hard work,
you’ll be able to make a living. The bigger question is: Will you know
how to live?
Think about it-your formal education can only teach you the skills you’ll
need in your career. What about the rest of your life? In a culture ravaged
by divorce, how will you build a happy marriage? In a society wracked by
loneliness, how do you plan to establish and maintain deep, meaningful friendships?
In a country where everyone seems to have his or her own ideas about what's
true, what belief structure are you going to build your life upon? You are
going to need a safe place where you can ask the hard questions of life without
worrying what people will think about you. At Sugar Creek, we hope to be
that place for you.
