I learned to think critically about how to handle the world’s ideologies and how to live as a child of God no matter where I am. There are numerous occasions where conversations about Critical Race Theory, Transgenderism, and others are promoted by the company I work for as truths. I am able to instill courage and communicate with people by using God's principles taught and lived by the faculty.
