A New Educational Adventure
Westminster Fulton, MO
The End, Beginning, and another End
The first leg is fairly easy, I have already been accepted but the real fun starts on the first day. The freshman walk through the symbolic columns to signify them leaving high school and entering a new level of higher education. They only walk through twice the entire time at school. The second is after graduation all the seniors walk through the columns one last time as they enter the real world.
The choices
As our high school careers come to an end we all realize that we must go on to get a degree. Well, most of us anyway. But with all the schools out there how could I ever decide? I visited multiple colleges that all felt like I was going to school, but when I stepped on the Westminster Campus I felt at home. My journey will take four years or more and I plan to get a degree and move on to Medical school. To be a doctor is the true goal but along the way why not make some stops?

Highly Praised
Winston Churchill himself came to speak at Westminster. It is where he delivered his Iron Curtain Speech. I would like to be able to go and visit where the speech was given. The college is said to be the epicenter of Churchill in The United States. I love the history of the whole thing and the way the school seems timelessly praised.
Academically Rigorous
The academics are all based and taught with the principles of service, leadership, and professional success. It is amazing how well the classes are taught, and when I asked 100 percent of students that apply to medical school get in. That is incredible and I hope that I can become a statistic one day.
Go Greek?
While there is an option to join a fraternity or sorority at the college I don't feel like that is the right thing for me. I believe that while in school I will live in the residential dorms. They are a good size and I probably will only need them for sleep. I will most likely be working to pay for school or Studying to pass the classes.
