Crown College Top Questions

Dude! I know that college seems too difficult and too expensive; nevertheless you should know that life without a higher education will be a challenge. You'll have to become a "somebody" in a market free from competition - which is doable but painful. However, when you enter into a market where others, who are equally qualified, are trying for the same piece of the pie, they'll be chosen every time regardless of your expereince because those in authority understand that education gives you the tools to do business. There is power in education, and even though it won't necessarily make you a good manager it will give you tools, which will be very useful to further your carrier and help others to see value in your services. Carefully consider what I said and then make an ecucated decision. Good luck buddy!

The greatest advice I would give myself is to trust God and practice the violin very hard! College is a difficult transition period from being dependent on one's parents and moving towards living on one's own. When the assignments come pouring in and stress continues to build until the due dates, temptation arises to panic. I found that when you relax through the difficulty, do your homework, and trust God, everything always gets done! There is no need for panic. Also, many life decisions are made in college. Instead of fearing, trust that God will work everything out according to plan. The second thing I would tell myself is to practice violin very dilliegently. Practice is necessary to use the gifts God has given me to become the best I can at the violin and give Him the glory. I would then remind myself that it is not important whether or not I am the best violinist in the area. What is most important is that I play as well as I can and that I am humble with my talents. Thanks be to God, the great giver of gifts!

If you want to grow, to move forward, you need to confront every single one of your faults. Confronting doesn't mean aking God to forgive you or asking for his help. Confronting is making a choice, saying no. Do this, God will help you, and you will succeed.
