Happy Memories

Those lastdays of college are drawing near and the excitement seems almost unbearable. Thoughts of diplomas,no exams,and good jobs constantly fill the minds of those who try on graduation gowns and address annoucements.

It is strangehow ambitions and goalscan change so quickly. When we're young,we wanttogetolder and become more mature. When we're teenagers, we want to quicklyprogressfrom high school to college. When we're in college, we desireto walk acrossthatplatform and feelthe sense of achievement afteryearsofhardwork. When collegehas passed we focus all our attention on finding that perfect career.

Life for the graduate, though,has been focused for several years on Lynchburg and Liberty University. It has beenahome away fromhome. Now,ambitionsand goals will separate friends again and ings. Some may get the opportunity to return, but those who live toofaraway orhave jobsthatdo not allow time offmay never return.

It is sad tothinkabout all the friends and good timesthat will no longerbe shared. But ambitionscan never blot out memories. New friends willbe made and life will go on, but Liberty University will never beforgotten.
