College Road Trip: The Interviews

On April 4, 2009 two teenagers from The Way, Josh Bueno and Becka Woodard, along with Nicole and myself left at about 6:15 in the morning for a road trip to see four different Christian colleges. It was a really good trip, but rather than me just give you a bunch of my thoughts about the trip, I thought we would interview Josh and Becka so that you could get a feel of what they thought about the trip. To start off it would be nice if everyone knew what you guys were thinking about going to college for. Josh is very interested in Youth Ministry and Becka is interested in studying worship. Well, why don’t you sum up what you felt about the food that you ate on the trip? “Delicious” was all that Becka could say. “Very good food, all you can eat which I loved!!” Well, let’s get to some stuff that actually tells you about the trip. I asked Becka if this trip may influence where she decides to go to school. She told me, “I now want to attend a Christian college whether I study worship or decide to later transfer for another degree., when before I was set on going to a Non-Christian college.” Josh said that the part of the trip that will stay with him the longest is when we spent the day in St. Louis and went up inside the Gateway Arch. I am pretty sure we would all agree that we will not be forgetting that experience for a long time. They both really liked the class we sat in on at Roanoke Bible College (Soon to be Mid-Atlantic Christian University [MACU]). I asked them both if they were to go to school right now, which school would they chose. Becka said that she is really torn between Central Christian College of the Bible (CCCB) in Moberly, MO and MACU in Elizabeth City, NC. They both had things that really attracted her to them. CCCB would be able to offer her some co-op programs with close-by schools in MO. Bt she really enjoyed the class we sat in on at MACU and the campus really caught her eye. Josh said if he were to choose right now he would chose MACU. He also loved the campus and the class. If you would like to here more about the college road trip you can check out posts from during the trip this interview will continue on the blog as well.
