Pensacola Christian College

I am an African American male who grew up in the inner city of Toledo, Ohio. Statistically, I was not supposed to meke it this far in life. Everything that I am and have done to this point in life is a direct result of my training at PCC. My advice to other people is, "If you want something in life, GO GET IT." You can do and be what ever you want to do and be. The only person who can stop you is YOU. Never let someone tell you what you can or will not do. They do not have that authority.

I believe that the education I received at PCC was very good: I felt well-educated upon graduation. PCC is, as you may know, the place that publishes ABeka preschool, elementary, and secondary curriculum; this curriculum is very strong in language arts; this is carried over into the college level of language arts. In particular, the Advanced Grammar class taught by Dr. Chapman was a tough class: tough in the sense that I had to work hard to keep up my 4.0 average; in the process, I learned a great deal about proper writing. As for building character, the rules of conduct, although most of us students chafed about them at the time, were instrumental in keeping me on a straight and narrow path. PCC's rules about conduct between the sexes are great for protecting girls from things like date rape; and for protecting both genders from venereal disease, unwanted pregnancies, and the emotional damage that can all result from promiscuity. I met my husband at PCC, and he is a very good man; if that were the only good thing about PCC, I would be very thankful for my time there. Of course, there are jerks everywhere you go, but my advice to young ladies is this: you are far more likely to find a good, godly young man at PCC than at many other colleges. Give PCC a serious look. The only thing that really disappointed me about attending PCC was that we students had no choice of an area church to attend: we were required to attend the Campus Church. Upon reflection, however, I suppose that requirement was the easiest way for the college to protect us students from false doctrine--and maybe a few traffic accidents!
