My Savior, Chance, Dream and Future
(Our featured piece is by first-year Louisburg student Liz Perry.)

Louisburg College.  Louisburg is not just a school, it is not just a
college education, and it is not just social times.  Louisburg is a
savior, a chance, a dream and a future.  I grew up in SE D.C., and saw many of my
friends make bad decisions; I dealt with many of their deaths, convictions, and
problems.  I saw my friends be mugged, or mug others.  I vowed I never wanted to be
like that, or in those kinds of situations.  I moved around a lot, went to seven different
high schools in 2 ½ years, and made my share of mistakes.  

Louisburg College is my savior, future, and dream because they took a chance on
me. A chance I intend to take for all it’s worth.  They believed in me when no one else
did.  You have to want it, you have to never quit, never stop fighting.  If you want your
future badly enough, you never stop trying.  I want a future, I want my dream.  This is
why I attend Louisburg, because they have that.  They have my dream; I just have to
earn it.  Nothing worth having is free.  It takes hard work, dedication, and motivation.

I want that piece of paper.  I want to walk across that stage and show all those who
thought I’d be nothing, that I am something.  That I am successful, relentless, and a
believer.

Louisburg is my savior.  It’s taught me to believe, trust, and be a faithful soldier in
God’s army.  It’s my chance.  My chance to become the person I want to be.  It’s my
dream, because I want it to be.  And finally, it’s my future, because nothing is
impossible when you never stop trying.
