The College Kid

Hello to all! Aaron here, sorry it has taken forever for me to post a new blog! I thought it was about time for me to give anyone out there reading a little update on my life!

During the summer, I continued working at Subway, and actually worked a few 30 hour weeks. The rest of the weeks it was fewer hours because of random days off for college-prep stuff or church ministries. Our family spent a night away in Houston, as we went to a Cardinals game! It was awesome to see a new stadium, and we got within feet of some of the Cards' players! I also spent a weekend at camp with the kids from church. We all had a blast, and got back safely, even if tired.

This week (tomorrow actually), I start school at Texas State U. in San Marcos, about 20 minute drive to the parking lot! I will be living at home and commuting, taking 16 credit hours spread over all 5 weekdays. History, speech, geography, english, music appreciation, and a freshman seminar are the classes I am taking. I am really excited for the opportunity to continue my studies, as well as to make new friends and be light to those around me. I am so grateful to God for providing the money for college! After applying for the FAFSA, and submitting my previous grades to school, I was blessed with a scholarship, as well as financial aid. Combined, all tuition was paid for, as well as a commuter meal plan and car-related expenses! I am thankful that God guided me in my college decision, as well as the blessing of not having to worry about finances for the time being!

During the school year, I will continue being involved at church as well as at Subway. This first week, my boss has me down for 18 hours of work. As always, I will be continuing my service with the church worship team, and also with the youth group. I am happy to report that a new-generation youth worship team is underway! The group is excited to be able to worship together, and though is small for now, is trusting in God to raise up new leaders! Thank you Hannah, Vincent, and Jessie for your commitment so far!

Well, this will wrap up this post. Look for more down the road from me! And if I forget, just remind me!!!

Blessings to all!
Aaron
