S enior year was probably my easiest year. Not because the classes I took weren’t hard, but because I found that through prayer, things became easier. Before I started coming to the Newman Center, I found myself being very anxious, nervous, and stressed out all the time for school. Studying for tests was never easy, but I found out that if I threw an hour of prayer into that mix of studying, I could just remember the information better, I was able to keep my mind on track, and studying became easier. I wish I would have found the Newman Center right away in my college career. The skills that I learned from everyone there I will never lose. In my five years of schooling, I cannot think of a time better than when I was with people from the Newman Center. Life after I have been super excited to go out into the work force doing something I love. Being a Computer Engineer has been something I wanted to do since I first discovered Robotics 10 years ago during high school. Even though it is something I am so passionate about, it doesn’t mean I don’t worry about where my life will take me. That is where my prayer life has been my backbone this past year. I know that when I enter the chapel, God is there to listen, he is there to answer my questions, and to hear what is on my mind. Going into the “real world” seems so distant, or tough, your mind can just get filled with “what if’s” and you become very unsure of yourself. But having the faith of knowing that everything you are doing is a part of Gods will, you will live a much healthier life. Finding an hour to talk with Jesus, seemed like a chore; but now I know that giving up one hour that I was playing games, or taking a nap, is so much more rewarding and comforting. 12 Life after Graduation By Garten Haeska, MNSU Graduate
