It sucks to be taken advantage of. This is especially true when someone manages to take advantage of you, disrespect you, and cost you heaps of money all at the same time. This is, unfortunately, an experience I recently underwent as a result of the City of Indianola's lovely new 72-hour ordinance.
In the spring of 2007, I was enrolled in Dr. Kedron Bardwell's Advanced Public Policy class. As a political science major, I thought it would be a good way to get another elective finished. As class started, I expected the usual: some packets, some readings and some papers.
If someone had asked me two weeks ago what I was expecting to get out of my spring break trip to Alabama with RLC, I would thought maybe having a fun time, and helping the community out. Little did I know that the trip that I was about to encounter was going to be a life-changing event that I would never forget, and that I was going to make nine incredible friends and experience God like I never had before.
A big round of applause to the senior gift committee, thinking out of the box and using the "senior gift" to really give back. After the tragic accident experienced by Erika Amfahr a little over a year ago, the campus was just not the same. Making it a little easier for Amfahr to come back to campus through a scholarship is a great idea.
