Meet my new favorite bunch of people! I work at a small private Catholic liberal arts university - Brescia University. Last fall we started a program called the First Year Experience where we provide sort of an extended orientation for all first time full time freshmen. The students are enrolled BU101/102 for 10 weeks in the fall and 10 weeks in the spring. This is my second year teaching a section of the class and this fine group is my class this year. From left to right, there is Kaley Girl, Kory-Rock, Sweet Schyler, Larenski, Kikki, Brenda Lou Lou (BLL is my teaching assistant for the class - she is a sophomore this year and was in my class last year. I love her dearly!!!), Laura-Li, Anthony Tony, Zel (Zel works at the abused women's shelter where we volunteered the day this picture was taken), McLovin, Gleeenn with 2 n's, Dancin DJ, BV, and me. If you are unaware, I love nick-names. Many of them don't even know I call them what I call them...It's just my own little term of endearment. We talk about everything from our history and heritage as a university, our own family roots, our talents, strengths, future plans, time management, ethics, values, decision making, etc. We meet on Tuesday evenings and try to have as much fun as we can. Next week, we are eating cupcakes & ice cream while we meet. We're planning a possible outdoor adventure at a local state park soon, and we'll go back to the abused women's shelter a few more times. Developing a heart for service and molding servant leaders is a great part of what this class is all about, because that's what Brescia is all about. I am so excited about this bunch! I think we are going to have a really fun year together!
