“I chose Eastern Nazarene College because of its amazing community. From the moment I stepped on the campus during Festival of Life in 2016, I knew I was going to be an ENC lion. My dad was a student here, as well as my grandfather, and my sister and I wanted to continue the legacy. I chose Elementary Education as a major because I have a passion for teaching. I want to help students discover their purpose in life the way my professors have supported and encouraged me. ”
