Personal Attention

Alex, Jamie, Jeff, Tyler, and I were invited to have dessert with some of the faculty and students of Emmanuel tonight. This soiree was at one of the faculty member's houses. It was great!! The house was amazing and filled with many different artifacts and furniture pieces from different cultures. There was a really good selection of sundae goodies, which I took pretty good advantage of ;). We went around the Sweeney residence living room and made introductions. Along with our introductions, we had to state one thing that brings us satisfaction. Naturally ;), I stated playing bass guitar. It was fun to hear the others satisfactory hobbies/desires, especially the teachers. It was good to hear that they truly enjoy seeing people learn and grow by something they taught. It was awesome. As is becoming usual, Tyler was the center of attention and stole their hearts. Everybody loved him :). Lots of good times. I especially felt warmed by the idea that these faculty members are devoted to a personal relationship with each of their students. I really feel like this is going to be a great experience for Jeff and I can't wait to be a small part of it.
