However, hearing students have helped by eliminating misconceptions that concern the deaf.

Mrs. Sue Willmington, directorfortheHands of Liberty, said, "It used to be when people thought ofthedeaf, they thought they were mentally ill or theycouldn'tdrive,which are not true."

She attributed the change in attitude to mainstreaming inschools givingstudentsexposure tothe deaf.

AccordingtoWillmington, the ministry has enabled her to "give the Gospel to the deaf who would not accidently overhear it."

Unfortunately, both saidmost students think of discipline rather than ministrywhentheythink about theroleofan RA. Their responsibility of making sure students abideby therulesin the LibertyWay give the impression RAs are more concerned about what

Lorenhasseenthe correlation between prayer and the attitude of the students on his floor. "When I let prayer go down, the spiritual attitude of the hall goes down."

Thi s year has truly seen "the best of times and the worst of times." And to borrow another cliche, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Laura, I miss you already Whe n I think of you, m y prayers will be for your strength next year Dennis, your unique perspective on life and sense of humo r are unequalled. Whe n I travel past farms, I will think of you Matt of the photo lab, good luck with doing this all over again next year. Whe n I see mental patients, I will wonde r if you will becom e one next year. Auburn, I will miss all of your music, jokes and laughter. Whe n I hear country music I'll remembe r our late nights Joanna, good luck next year Whenever I see a tow truck, I'll think of our little adventure. To m y church, friends, family and God, thank you for a memorable year

Ifinallymad e it through yet another year of Selah. Someho w I just haven't been the sam e since Maybe it's all those late nights, last minute interviews or the chair races I just don't know, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I've enjoyed every minute of it! Lisa, I'm really going to miss you Lisa, Dennis, Auburn and Joanna, it's not going to be the sam e without you. Good Luck, Guys!!!

Well , it's been interesting following in Tom's mouseprints. It has been a rough but wonderful trip! I kno w I will miss late nights in the graphic and yearbook labs, middle of the night runs to Kroger and all the people wh o mad e those long nights bearable I won't miss early mornings with the wor k incomplete, middle of the night runs to the hospital and the people wh o used all the computers, yet w e are still alive (and still doing the work).

Life won't be the same without Lisa—m y lab buddy, Amy—m y partner in crime, Noise—m y musical entertainment, Michie—m y roommat e and best friend, everyone on the staff (Dennis, Matt, Laura and Joanna Go d bless you!) and m y quad-mates (Dottie, Jessica, Michelle, Lori and Tamara—yo u guys were the best!)

I would like to thank God for this marvelous opportunity and for the strength to complete the task I also want to thank: Mopp y and Poppy (and their credit card); Krista and Steve; Nan-Nan for the Olds; Gramm y and Papa for lots of mail; Lee, Karen, Heather and Baby (?) for a hom e away from home ; Mrs Seipp and everyone in the BLC; m y wonderful professors; Berean Baptist; guardshack people; AAA, to w trucks and mechanics; and m y sponsors for the Midwest Spring Break Tour

I write this as a ne w day begins The sun is finding its wa y through the de w soaked haze which always seems to surround Liberty University I have learned a great deal about m y art of photography, but muc h wor k lies ahead. I thank only God and m y wife, Kim, wh o share m y vision and understand m y goals Wer e it not for them, m y dream could never be realized Chronicles 11:11
