WAUStyle

In case you didn't hear, there are certain fashion trends every girl MUST follow, because they're in style! Below, here are some of the styles of our students on campus.

I chose WAU to be the place where I study becasue it is a small campus and it’s location. I want to be a nurse because I love helping people. I believe that helping others is the greatest thing that one can do and I want to be able to help in small and big ways alike. Being a nurse is just one of the many choices that I had. My goal in life so far is to go to med-school. I want to get a nursing degree first in order to have a profession to support myself while I’m going to med-school to become a doctor. In such a small campus, I believe that everyone is important here. So my role in this school would be the same as anyone else’s. Due to the fact that it’s a small campus I believe that change can be made faster than in bigger institutions and anyone can make those changes, I can, or you can, or anyone else can as long as they have the passion for it.

I’ve chosen WAU as a starting point of my education... It was also recommended to me by the people who were already studying here as an institution that cares about the students. I was told that the departments I’m a part of right now (English and music) had a great staff— nurturing, mentoring, and supporting. I’m not disappointed about my choice. I want to be a teacher because I see this profession as one of the most important. Passing the knowledge by and inspiring others — it doesn’t have to be kids; I’m thinking about being an ESL teacher — is something that would allow me to feel that I make a difference. And, actually, make it! I can’t say I have some grand goals I want to achieve in life, like saving the planet from the global warming or helping cure cancer. What I really want is to live a calm, but meaningful Christian life and impact others’ life in a most positive way. To my younger self I would have told that it is going to be all right — no matter what. Even though it’s not always going as we plan, there is always some alternative. And, please, don’t be lazy! Learn! Travel! Create! Be brave and open-minded! :) Marina L.

Gabriela W. I see myself as a student leader on campus. WAU has a lot to offer its students and I am passionate about utilizing the available resources and encouraging others to do the same. I transferred to WAU from a much larger university, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Christian education is underrated because it adds a dimension of support and safety that does not exist in other academic settings. I wanted to be in a university that was uplifting, and aware of a higher purpose than just getting a job. Our campus is also in a great location for those seeking internships in whatever field they choose. My career aspirations are still in flux, but I dream about being an extremely active citizen in my community. I would like to be involved with local government and education. If I could say anything to my younger self, I would tell her to never quit. When things get hard, overwhelming, and you feel powerless, you must remember your strength and persevere. It is through perseverance that you gain success, confidence, and wisdom.

Got ya in the first half, right? All jokes aside, we live in a world FULL of inequality, but we are blessed that here at WAU, we all get a chance to succeed and aim for a better future in the hope of tomorrow. And that, ladies, is OUR style.
