Future Wildcat

Since there isn't a lot of sport talk right now, I thought I would relay a conversation I had with a young member of my church. 20-30 years ago, we had large youth groups with many choosing to go to ACU. In more recent years, the size of the youth group has shrunk noticeably and we would only have one go to ACU every few years. Last week I was texting with one of your seniors and asked him if the youth minister had convinced him to apply to ACU. I had no idea what his plans were but thought I would at least ask. He replied that he had applied and had been accepted. When I told him that I hoped he would seriously consider attending ACU, his reply made my day. He said he planned to go to ACU because he had seen what a difference the university had made in the lives of so many at our church and he wanted to experience that first hand. Neither of his parents attended college and I was thrilled that he could see from a distance what an impact attending ACU can have. 

I always told students that ACU is not right for everyone but for some it is the perfect fit. I hope that ends up being true for this student.
