I graduated with my associate degree in Christian studies, which only gave me a hunger and purpose to go onwards. I am at present doing a bachelor’s in pastoral studies, and I have the desire to go on and do a master’s in theology (or divinity). My end goal is to become a chaplain, where I can work and help those in need. I have so much to learn and yet so much to give. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been satisfying and rewarding as I have grown in my knowledge and understanding of the subjects at hand.”
– Neil Barnett, AS in Christian Studies
