What I love about Wheaton:
Definitely the co-op. It is incredible what you can find there! and it's FREE.
Why BAM?
I think BreakAway provides an awesome opportunity for Wheaton students to spend a week serving others and learning about different existing ministries across the county and world. I hope it will challenge people to think you about ways they can lead lives of service in their everyday lives.

What I love about Wheaton:
(This is not a question, so I will answer the question "What I love about cartoons...")
I love cartoons because they are funny. I don't know why anybody ever stops watching cartoons--everything else on TV just isn't as good.
Why BAM?
BreakAway Ministry is awesome because it gives you a chance to serve God, make lifelong friends, and have a great time during spring break. What else could you ask for?
Words to live by:
The homework will still be there for you go to Los.
I want to...before I die:
Take over the world.

Breaking an elevator between floors with a bunch of friends from dancing too much to 'Call Me Maybe'
I want to...before I die:
Live in an igloo, go to the Olympics, be in a massive food fight, see the Northern Lights (again), hug a koala and chinchilla...at the same time.

I'm bothered

What I love about Wheaton:
The variety of cultures and backgrounds among the campus community. Everyone has a story to tell and not one story is exactly the same as another. The love for Jesus on this campus is what keeps us united in sincere fellowship and good times!
Why BAM?
Literally every time I saw a flier for BreakAway I sensed a tug at my heart. I ended up going to Angola last Spring Break and the Lord showed up in ways I could NOT have imagine. I want this opportunity to be made known to all of campus!
Words to live by:
Live. Laugh. Serve . All for Jesus!
I want to...before I die:
Live near the ocean again.
Craziest thing I've done:
Cancelled a floor meeting at Wheaton my freshman year.
It bothers me when:
I see balloons...I have an irrational fear of loud/unexpected noises.
