College Fairs
It's been a while since I've written, but I've been on the road for the past three weeks recruiting for Grace College at NACCAP's college fairs. I loved not only representing Grace College at these fairs but helping parents and students find the right fit for them is very rewarding. I started at Oaks Christian, where current Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clasuen went to school. It's also the school where a few celebrity kids attend, like Will Smith and Joe Montana, and no, I didn't see them while I was there.
Most of my travels took me around the Southern California area and down into San Diego. It was a great tour and I made a lot of positive connections with schools, parents and students. One of the best memories I have are the friends I've made from other Christan colleges. I give them a lot of props for what they do all year round. I use to wonder about our admissions counselors at Grace. I use to think it would be fun to do a few cool trips, sight seeing and staying at plush hotels. I would love to eat out every night at different restaurants and travel in cool sports cars that they rented. Well, that's not a true picture of what it's like to recruit for your school. A lot of hard work and long weeks away from family, friends and church. They deserve the money they earn and maybe a little more.
I'll be writing a few posts for high school students and parents on how to choose a college. Look for these posts in the next few weeks, as I talk about what to look for in a college, what questions you should be asking, and how to narrow down that right school for you. I hope these posts will be a great help to those who are going through or will soon go through the process of finding a college for their child.
