Meeting the Challenge

Have you ever been
to a race and watched
the racers line up at the
starting line? V^ether
it's cars revving up for a
fast start, horses at the
starting gate, or men and
women in the starting
blocks, there is tension,
excitement, and antici
pation. Many freshmen
experience these same
feelings as they prepare
to start college.
Like many new
freshmen, Christy Keller
expressed feelings of
excitement and appre
hensiveness as she anx
iously anticipated the
beginning of her first
year in college. Most
freshmen are eager to get
the year imder way.
Kristy Nations says that
she couldn't wait to be
independent, but at the
same time she was re
luctant to leave her
friends and family.
Most freshmen
have already set goals
for this year. On the top
of the list was the hope
of meeting new people
and making some close
friends. Laura Luby
admits that she was a
little bit nervous at first,
but later felt more com
fortable after meeting
some of her fellow dorm-
mates.
Another goal that
most freshmen have in
common is the desire to
complete this first year
of college successfully.
Will you reach that fin
ishline? My top priority
this year is to arrive at
the finish line with no
regrets.
What shall your
race bring? Will you
experience the thrill of
victory or the agony of
defeat? The race will not the competition will
be easy, but it will be make it all worthwhile if
exciting. All the pain, you accept its challenge
the strain, the effort, and and succeed.
