Wanted throughout high school to get into Notre Dame, had the grades and SATs (1330! back when scores were formatted up to 1600), but didn't get in. Was crushed, but went to Indiana University, got a B.S. in Psychology and got saved there too, so I'm not complaining!

O god that's exactly me. I have the grades to get in and I'm sure the SAT score (pending my results) but I'm not sure I'll get in being how competitive it is now. If I don't I'll definently be crushed as it is my favorite school and #1 choice.

At the time it was the biggest disappointment I had ever felt in my life, but like I said, things worked out nicely. Had I gone to ND I may not be walking with the Lord, probably would not have done mission work overseas, would not have met my wife, or be a new daddy, etc, etc, etc. Things have a way of working out. That said, good luck with ND! It's an awesome school!

Yea it's an awesome school, but I definently understand your point of view. Who do you do your mission work through? I go down to Mexico each year through Amor Ministries for mission work and I'm pretty sure they go overseas as well.

My wife and I work for Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru), it's the largest interdenominational mission organization globally. It's a full-time thing for us. We also coordinate efforts with several other organizations like InterVarsity, Wycliffe, World Vision, and others. It's awesome you go down for that every year!

We lived overseas in Kosovo for three years. During that time we also did some ministry in Macedonia, Albania, Hungary and a few other places I won't mention. Right now we are at Northern Illinois University.

Small schools for all three degrees.

Emporia State University - Political Science, Social Sciences

MidAmerica Nazarene Univeristy - BSN

I got accepted to my favorite university for law school about a decade ago. I passed on the chance. For a long time I wondered why I didn't go. Between 2000 and now I have done a lot of dumb stuff. I did however find my calling. Call it a "woman's job" if you like. Who knows I may take a decade while taking a few classes a semester and go to med school when the boys are a bit older.

It sounds horrible but had I stayed with law, I'd be a dead man right now. I have however found a way to help people through the most difficult parts of life which tend to be illness and death.

If I had it to do over again I would change some things. I never have studied, it wasn't necessary for me. I'd go back and bust my ass. I'd still go to that small school. I met my wife there the last semester I was there. She is amazing.

I actually didn't go to college, regrettably.

I am hoping to begin schooling in the Spring in an effort to better myself. We'll see, though!
