Meet Elena!

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

That was definitely something I was looking for in a school just to meet other people. Especially like a diverse group of Christians Not necessarily the same type of Christian Andi wanted to like challenge just myself spiritually and relation with God, along with working hand in hand with academics rather than you know, going apart from one another to combine them would be really cool. How would you describe that academic climate? Uh, so far it's been pretty good. You know that in high school, you're like, Oh, yeah, challenged and you get a day. Uh, and I just think that's cool because, like, I don't know, to talk to a professor, especially. I know as a freshman, er it's intimidating to be like Hi, like my names, you know, so and so and then just tow, even have a conversation, like sometimes they're like, Hey, like, I want to meet you like, let's have coffee and talk like I think that's so cool. Like, what are some of the, uh, some of them, I think. Well, I have a lot of core classes right now, but you'LL get to around if you, you know, choose any kind of college. One of my favorites, ironically, that I've had, um, was in the beginning not gonna like GC, but that has changed just because just so I know what that stands for. A lot of which is kind of Strange because a lot of people don't like it, But it depends on you. I feel like I understand all the information that's like given to me because I know that's hard, especially when they kind of lecture for, like, an hour. That's probably the best just because we no, no, we talked about stuff that you won't want to talk about, like communication theory. Why would you want to talk about that? Sounds like a very boring class, but it's actually kind of cool to start to think about the way that we, as you know, human start to communicate with each other, how we perceive things and everything like that, and she just does it in a very like, relatable manner. And how would you describe the student body with people you meet here overall, Very diverse. It's a good diversity because I know a lot of times it's it's challenging. It's hard when you have so many people from so many different backgrounds of so many different ethnicities and just everything. Uh, you might not get along with everyone, which I think is kind of a good thing in reality, like because in life you're not going to get along with everyone, But it's cool because you just get to see it like you're exposed. Do you think there's diversity in, like Christian background to like denominations? Not just like ethnicity? Yeah, definitely without a doubt, just like styles of worship or like the way people see communion. You know, kind of do believe it's, um, don't like. There's some people here who are struggling with the fact of like, If Christ riel. Then there are people on the other spectrum who, like, you know, have had relationships since her, too, and like they know everything about it. Like, you know, pastors tried like it's a very a huge range of relationships and everything else going on with, like, their understanding of Christianity. So I think that's cool because, you know, you don't want everything to be the same. So what would you say? Your favorite thing is about Gordon and your least favorite thing. Um, I mentioned this a lot before and my answers, but my favorite thing is probably the community like, yeah, it's definitely what you make it. Whatever you kind of put into it, I feel like you definitely get out of it. Um, like the people I've met so far, and you run into them all the time because it is a small community, uh, same thing with professors and everything like that. So That's a little hard if you want to get away from them, uh, and take a break. Like to find a community, are like even there's a group of people like you have life like That's just a hard thing to do, especially because we're growing into different season in our lives. Uh, you know what, which is our relationship with God like That's such a cool thing to probably the community aspect I love and then the thing that I probably dislike the most. Um, sometimes in all honesty, it's just you're around people too much, same thing as muchas. Um, whether that's like just for your mental health kind of thing, because I mean, you need that just as much as you need to spend time with people and that also think hard, kind of to keep your own identity in a way just because you are surrounded by so many people who, like, you know, left the Lord and all this Jesus kind of also knows this stuff. Like, your own identity and figure that out, I think is the most challenging aspect and kind of dislike retarded to you that but it's a good challenge. Is there anything else you want to leave people in? And the advice and last thing you want to save? I got him, um, China. Well, I could not get a lot like people don't steal things like you haven't heard stories of that. If you do have a bike, people or scooter people tend to borrow them. So it's not like people personally take them and you never see it again. It's like they borrow it and they put it back to where they think they last had it. You know, they try their best, but like put it on you don't even need a locket. It makes people think it's like and then the two Lazio with no late.
