Exciting News

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I just wanted to pop in and share some exciting news.

A few weeks ago, I was asked by one of my communications advisers to be the editor of Penn State New Kensington’s student newspaper, The Nittany Pride. 

I said yes!

It’s seriously amazing how I continue see God’s hand in my life. A few months ago, I was really upset about dropping my meteorology class because I knew it would put me behind a semester.

(^That is a screenshot from part of the post about dropping the class. I’m so glad I trusted God with His plan for me!)

I decided that I would spread my senior year out over three semesters, instead of cramming in an extra class on top of the tough senior classes I have to take. The awesome thing about spreading out my credits is that I now get to take less classes per semester.

So, where am I going with all of this? The bottom line is that if I didn’t drop meteorology, I wouldn’t had the time to commit to being the editor of the school paper. At the time, I didn’t understand why I just couldn’t do well in that class. Then I felt guilty for dropping it, but decided to trust that God would work everything out in some awesome way. He totally did. As usual.

I have a few more articles that will be in the next edition of the school paper, which is going to be published tomorrow or Monday. Exciting!

I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity. I know that being the editor of the school paper is a lot of hard work and responsibility, but I’m also really excited to learn and grow through the next few semesters that I will be holding this position.
