God-honoring Diversity

One of the reasons why I love APU is because of its diversity, but because it is God-honoring, it is open. No ethnicity or social class is considered supreme; we all pay $30k one way or another to be at this university. I love the opportunities being here has presented. At my high school, we had whites, hispanics, and two half japanese half dutch. That's it. Here, I see, as corny and cliche as it sounds, a rainbow of people, and it's beautiful. I love it. i LOVE embracing the cultures and languages. It makes my life so much more interesting and satisfying.

I think the key to embracing the diversity here at APU is to really have an open mind. We all come from different backgrounds and situations, but in reality, we're all here for one reason, and that's to put God first and let Him take control of our lives.

God created us all differently for a reason, but because He created us, we have to embrace the beauty of His creation.

I love it.
No joke.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
