Lopez Encourages Appreciation of Harding , · For some, graduation is a time for celebration. For Karla Lopez , it was a time for reflection. ·'My closest friends are here , and it will be hard for me when I graduate,'' said Lopez , one of several Walton scholarship students at Harding. ··1 am going back to Honduras , and I won't get to see any of my Harding friends for some time ." Karla 's years at Harding have been "some of the best" of her life . Sh said it made her ve1y mad when people complained about Harding. "People should look at the good things here instead of dwelling on the bad things. When I first came here , I was ve1y homesick because my family, like other Latin families , is very close. But the people at Harding have been so nice. They filled up the empty place in my heart . Everyone here is so concerned with your well-being. " Karla said she especially appreciated her teachers and the attitudes they showed in and out of the classroom. "In Honduras , we didn't have teachers that were quite so friend ly. Here , the teachers are not only concerned with your study; they al o care about your spiritual life and your socia l life. " Karla expressed hope that new students \\ 'ouJcJ appreciate Harding as much as she has . ·Tm very jealous of the freshmen who are just starting here , because they have four yea rs coming up. I hope they realize how lucky they are.'' - Ryan Gjovig Cr aig Sh adrb.: - llrernan. GA. .\ledicine. Scou Sh appard - 13artleu . T:\ . .lf11sic Education, T:\T. Alph.1 Chi. American Srudie,.
