A constant haze of questions
Like a lot of college students, Courtney Waters is doing a lot of soul-searching. As she explores her faith, she's finding places where faith and philosophy don't necessarily intersect, and that troubles her. Dubbing this her "rebellion" phase, she believes that in the end, her faith will be stronger and more useful to God.
Finally, an answer
to "what's next?"
Laura O'Donnell is entering her final year in college, and she's hearing the question college seniors hate to hear: "What are you doing after graduation?" Laura realized she needed to answer that questions soon, and she's hoping to start her teaching career in a charter school where she can combine her passions for teaching, service, and leadership. As the end of her studies nears, she's also thinking about who has helped her along the way.
