Alec Hartrick Freshman | Social Work “If you keep it, I trust you. If you don’t you’re not worthy of my time. I have promised to be in people’s lives if they ever need me, no matter what, even if the relationship is severed.”
Ike Nkemjka
Sophomore | Mechanical Engineering “A promise is like someone’s life, one’s life hangs on by the promises you keep. I’ve promised to not let my GPA drop and not be lazy.”
Michael Lang Sophomore | Undecided “Very important because at the end of the day, all you have is your word. I promised my mom I would obtain honor roll throughout college and so far I have.”
Tyler Simmons Freshman | Criminal Justice “You have faith invested in your promises and going back on them, leaves you in the dark. I promised my parents that while in college, I wouldn’t bring home any kids.”
Samuel Ajadi Freshman | Electrical Engineering “Very, very, important. As important as someone’s life. A promise I’ve kept is to always be positive and nice to everyone.”
Ariel Brown Freshman | English “Extremely important. It can make or break a relationship. I have promised myself to be a millionaire by the age of 32. So far I do well for myself.”
